§ 42. Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSONasked whether the right hon. Gentleman will instruct the Registrar of Friendly Societies. to draw up a Report on the basis of the actuarial reports which are being received by him as to the probability of friendly societies being able to work the voluntary side of their insurance successfully during the next ten years?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI understand that it would be impossible to estimate from the valuations received by the Registrar the 695 probability of friendly societies being able to work their voluntary side successfully during the next ten years. I am unaware of anything which has happened which makes it likely that the societies will be less successful during the next ten years than they have been during the last ten years.
