§ 70. Mr. OLIVER LOCKER-LAMPSONasked whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer intends to introduce an amending Insurance Bill this year; and, if so, whether the Bill will involve an increase in expenditure?
§ Mr. MASTERMANAs stated by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister, a Bill is now being prepared and will be introduced this year in order to bring within Insurance legislation the Grants-in-Aid voted by Parliament. Other minor changes or additions may be proposed, but I am unable at present to say whether any such proposals will involve an increase in expenditure.
§ Mr. O. LOCKER-LAMPSONasked a supplementary question which could not be heard.
§ Mr. MASTERMANIf the hon. Gentleman can contribute any suggestion I shall be very glad to hear it.
