HC Deb 30 October 1912 vol 43 c454
79. Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked if the regulations under Section 83 (3) of the National Insurance Act, which were promised in order to meet the difficulties of border societies, have yet been framed; and, if not, when they can be expected?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The regulations referred to have not yet been issued; they are still under consideration.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Is it not sufficiently borne in upon the Commissioners that the only way is to do away with the separation between the three countries?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I do not think so; the Commissioners are discussing the matter with the members of the societies at the present time.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Are they making any regulation?

Mr. W. THORNE

Will the right hon. Gentleman ask the Commissioners to refuse to make any more regulations. We are sick and tired of them.
