42. Major HOPEasked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the Insurance Commissioners, to what purpose or fund the contributions of insured emigrants are applied in cases where it is not found practicable to transfer the emigrant to a society or institution in the country to which he or she has emigrated?
§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (Lord of the Treasury)The cost of the emigrant's insurance while he was still in this country will ordinarily have exceeded the amount of the contributions paid by him.
§ Mr. BENNIf the hon. Member knows of an emigrant who has a surplus and he will give me the case in point, I will give him an answer.
