33. Mr. F. HALLasked the Secretary to the Treasury if his attention has been called to the recent inquest on Henry Goodwin, a journeyman butcher of Bethnal Green, who was an insured person, and was certified to the Prudential Insurance Company, his society, to be suffering from rheumatism; whether he is aware that Goodwin died of acute tuberculosis of the lungs, and that it was stated at the inquest that if the deceased had been sent to a sanatorium earlier his life might have been saved; will he state the name of the doctor who attended Goodwin; and is he still upon the insurance panel?
Mr. BENNI am informed by the London Insurance Committee that the case referred to is at present under investigation by the Medical Service Sub-Committee. Pending this report it would be improper for me to make any statement.
