HC Deb 06 February 1913 vol 48 cc37-8
73. Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether regulations will be framed by the Insurance Commission to provide for the election of two representatives of the medical profession OD each insurance committee; whether he will state why these representatives have not been already elected; and whether, where more than two candidates offer themselves for election, it is proposed that the method of election shall be that known as the block vote or that known as the single transferable vote?

Mr. MASTERMAN

Regulations have been issued providing for the election of two representatives of the medical profession to each insurance committee, and a circular, explaining the method of election and enclosing a nomination paper, has been sent to every practitioner appearing upon the medical register. The method of election is that known as the single transferable vote.
