§ 23. Sir J. D. REESasked on what grounds the Insurance Commissioners telegraphed last month to the Isle of Ely insurance committee to suspend the operation of the provisions of the Act as to contracting out in Wisbech and Chatteris; and whether the contributions of doctors who have not gone on the panel and of the servants of such are to swell the incomes of the doctors imported into this area to work the Act?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI have nothing to add to the full statement of the circumstances referred to which I have given in answer to previous questions and in the Debate in the House on 12th February last.
§ Sir J. D. REESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that that was not considered to be a satisfactory answer?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI think I very fully explained all the circumstances under which the system is maintained, and I do not think I could usefully add anything in answer to the hon. Gentleman's question.
