HC Deb 19 June 1912 vol 39 cc1653-4
33. Mr. ESSEX

asked what steps the Commissioners are taking to provide local insurance committees with advice and assistance in carrying out the duties which they will be called upon to perform immediately the National Insurance Act comes into operation; and, generally, what action the Commissioners propose to take in regard to the local administration of the Act?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The Commissioners are issuing a memorandum explaining fully the powers and duties of the provisional insurance committees which are now being constituted, and arrangements have been made for the attendance of one of their officers at each of the preliminary meetings.
