24. Mr. WORTHINGTON - EVANSasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will grant the Return standing in the name of the hon. Member for East Leeds? [Mr. O'Grady, National Insurance Act,—Return showing, as at the 10th day of April, 1913, for each county and county borough in England, in respect of the National Insurance Act, 1911:—(1) The number of insured persons in each area; (2) The number of such who are deposit contributors; (3) The number of insured persons in each approved society in each area, with the name of the society.]
§ Mr. MASTERMANAs I have informed my hon. Friend the Member for East Leeds, the information as to the number of insured persons in each approved society in each area, as shown by a count of the index slips in the hands of the committees about 10th April, is now being obtained, and will be published in connection with the appointments to the New Committees, and doubtless this will serve his purpose as well as a formal Return.
Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANSIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the information given by the various societies only concerns the members belonging to the societies, and do not include the information asked for in the Return? Cannot he give us that?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIf I have any information that my officials can get out without undue trouble I shall be glad to supply it.
