§ 40. Mr. TIMOTHY DAVIESasked the number of claims for maternity benefits for the first three weeks of the operation of the National Insurance Act in the three administrative counties of Lindsey, Kesteven, and Holland?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIt would be impossible to obtain Information as to the number of claims for maternity benefit in the three particular administrative counties referred to without calling for a return from each of all the societies operating in these counties; and this would entail a considerable amount of work for the societies, as they do not require to classify maternity claims under the counties in which the applicants happen to reside for any administrative purpose.
