§ Mr. KINGasked whether provisional committees will be set up in counties and county boroughs in order to bring the National Insurance Act into operation without delay; and, if so, whether their work will be purely preliminary and intended to assist, and not to fetter, the work of the permanent county and county borough committees to be set up hereafter?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.
