HC Deb 23 January 1913 vol 47 cc601-2
73. Mr. WORTH INGTON-EVANS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any arrangements have been made under Section 105 of the National Insurance Act with any associations of workmen; if so, with what associations; and whether, if such arrangements have been made, a copy of the documents containing the arrangements will be circulated with the Votes?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Robertson)

The Board of Trade have concluded arrangements under this Section with ninety-five associations having 5,300 branches. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a pamphlet showing the names and branches of these associations and the forms of agreement adopted, and I shall be happy to forward a copy to any other hon. Member who may wish it.

74. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any arrangements have been made under Section 106 of the National Insurance Act with any association of persons not trading for profit, and, if so, with what associations; and whether, if such arrangements have been made, a copy of the documents containing such arrangements will be circulated with the Votes?

Mr. ROBERTSON

Two hundred and fifty-two associations have given notice of their intention to apply for a repayment under this Section, and the Board of Trade are now considering these cases to see how far they satisfy the requirements of the Regulations. I am sending the hon. Member copies of the Regulations relating to repayments under Section 106 and of a pamphlet explaining the requirements of the Board in regard to them. In due course a list of associations and of the repayments made to them will be published.

Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Can the right hon. Gentleman also include a copy of the form of agreement required in this case?

Mr. ROBERTSON

Yes.
