§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the fact that a society has itself become an 579 approved society under the National Insurance Act will prevent such society from subsequently becoming a branch of another approved society?
§ Mr. MASTERMANNo, Sir. The fact that a society has obtained approval will not debar it from entering hereafter into union with other societies by amalgamation or otherwise if experience shows that such a course is desirable.
