51 and 52. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANSasked (1) whether any valuations have been completed in any of the one hundred societies in England and the nine societies in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in which reserve values have been provisionally claimed on the advice of the Insurance Commissioners; if made, what is the result of such valuations in each case; if not made, is it intended that valuations shall be made forthwith; and (2) whether the Insurance Commissioners have yet called upon any of the approved societies to reduce the benefits or increase the contributions, in view of the deficiences which are now inevitable in some societies?
Mr. BENNI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for West Bradford on the 16th instant, to which my right hon. Friend has nothing to add.
