HC Deb 09 July 1914 vol 64 c1222
32. Mr. NEWMAN

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the Insurance Commissioners, whether, in view of the fact that the Report of the administration of National Health Insurance for 1913–14 is a volume of 582 pages, costing the public 2s. 5d. to purchase, he will issue a handier, less costly, and more popularly edited edition which, while more generally available to the public, will bring out the statements made by the National Health Commissioners with regard to the sickness claims on approved societies that have been made during the year in question, and will emphasise the fact that the payment of sickness and certain other benefits is not guaranteed by the State, but is under the Act dependent on the solvency of the approved society?

Mr. BENN

My right hon. Friend will consider whether there is any sufficient demand to justify issuing the Report in sections.
