§ Mr. JOYCEasked whether, now that explanatory circulars have been issued by the English Insurance Act Commissioners in order to facilitate those societies and other bodies who desire to become approved under the Act, circulars and 1884 instructions of the same kind will be issued in Ireland, so that trade unions, friendly societies, labour bodies, and other persons who desire to become contributors under the National Insurance Act will have the fullest possible information to help them?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe same steps have been, and will be, taken in Ireland as in England to explain the provisions of the Act to societies and persons affected by it. In both countries, in addition to correspondence and personal interviews, official lectures have been arranged, and model rules, with explanatory circulars, have been issued. Pamphlets and leaflets are being published, winch I hope will be as widely circulated in Ireland as in other parts of the United Kingdom.
