30. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANSasked how many members of approved societies were, at any recent date, in arrear with their contributions for periods exceeding twelve weeks a year on the average since entering insurance?
Mr. BENNThe information asked for is not available, and could not be obtained without requiring all societies and branches to undertake the serious work of making a detailed examination of their registers and furnishing special returns, which would be of no value for any administrative purpose, either of their own or of the Commissioners.
