Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to avoid the increased dislocation of business in Glasgow and district by the delay and inconvenience of having to send to London all documents connected with war risk insurance, he will open a branch office in Glasgow for war risk insurance on cargoes?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe question whether it will be possible to open any branch insurance office or offices outside London is being considered and, of course, if we can do so, Glasgow and Liverpool will be the principal outside centres.
