HC Deb 21 November 1912 vol 44 c482
86. Mr. MACPHERSON

asked whether the Commission appointed to consider the position of the Highlands of Scotland, with reference to the medical benefits under the National Insurance Act, have finished their inquiry; whether their Report has now been presented; and, if not, when it is likely to be presented?

MARQUESS Of TULLIBARDINE

Before the right hon. Gentleman answers that question, may I ask if the reference was not with regard to medical services, and not to medical benefits under the Insurance Act?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I think the Insurance Act was the reason for appointing the Commission, but the Noble Lord is quite accurate in saying that the reference was rather larger than with regard to the Insurance Act. I understand that the inquiry referred to is finished, and that the Report is now being drafted, and will shortly be presented.
