§ 35. Mr. DUNCAN MILLARasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the urgent need for making immediate additional provisions for the administration expenses of the smaller burgh and county insurance committees, the length of time the matter has now been under consideration, and the anxiety felt by many insurance committees as to their position, he is now prepared to make some statement as to the additional amounts to be paid over to these committees to enable them to meet their expenditure?
Mr. BENNI fear that I am not at present in a position to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member for Midlothian, on the 25th May.
§ Mr. DUNCAN MILLARCan the hon. Gentleman say when a statement is likely to be made?
Mr. BENNNo. The matter is being considered, but I cannot say on what date a decision will be come to.
