64. Mr. TYSON WILSONasked if the right hon. Gentleman is aware that the National Health Insurance Commissioners have refused to make any allowance to a workman working at a public institution who, after receiving his insurance card fully stamped from the superintendent of the institution, had it taken from a drawer in which he had placed it for safety; and whether, in view of the fact that the superintendent has certified that the card was fully stamped, and that the books of the institution prove this, he will approach the Commissioners with the object of this workman getting full credit for the payments he has made?
Mr. ROBERTSONI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Gorton Division of Lancashire on the 3rd instant.
Mr. ROBERTSONThe hon. Member will realise that a card which is missing is likely to be used for some dishonest purpose, and therefore it is very hard indeed to accept a mere statement that a card is missing.
