§ 61. Mr. THOMAS RICHARDSONasked whether, owing to delay on the part of the National Insurance Commissioners in providing the necessary information, the Consett Trades Council were unable to nominate any members for the district committee; and whether care will be taken in the forthcoming arrangements for the setting up of the committees to secure that bodies representative of the various interests will have sufficient time to make their nominations?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe Trades Council have no power to nominate members of the district committee. In reply to a letter received from the Trades Council, the Commissioners suggested that the council should communicate with the insurance committee. The reply to the second part of the question, which appears to relate to the election of representatives of insured persons on the insurance committees, is in the affirmative.
