§ 58. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSONasked which of the provisional Regulations issued by the Insurance Commissioners are still in force; which of them have now lapsed altogether; and which of them have been made substantive?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI will circulate the information with the Votes and Proceedings. [See Written Answers this date.]
§ Mr. CASSELWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of framing together the Regulations and Orders that have been made, with an index—it would be a great facility to all who have to use the very voluminous documents?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI agree; that is quite a good suggestion. I am very anxious as soon as I can get anything permanent in the matter to present it to the House.
§ 59. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSONasked whether, in the issue of Regulations and Orders by the Insurance Commissioners, a note can be placed at the head of each Regulation stating the Clause and Section of the National Insurance Act under which such Regulation is issued, so that the public may know in how many cases the National Insurance Act is being altered by Regulation?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe Regulations themselves indicate under which Section of the National Insurance Act they are issued, but I will bring the suggestion of the hon. Member to the notice of the Commissioners. The Commissioners have no power to alter the Act by Regulation, nor have they done so.
