HC Deb 23 July 1914 vol 65 cc622-3
34. Mr. C. BATHURST

asked whether the Commissioners have received resolutions passed by the insurance committees of London, Birmingham, Halifax, and other boroughs in support of the proposal to place the insured person who is being treated in a sanatorium in the same position as one who is being treated in an ordinary hospital as regards the application of his benefits; and, if so, what action do the Commissioners propose to take in this matter?

Mr. BENN

Resolutions of the kind described in the first part of the question have been received from certain insurance committees. With regard to the second part, the Commissioners have no power to take any action.

Mr. BATHURST

Do the Government propose to take any action in this matter by legislation or otherwise?

Mr. BENN

The hon. Member must put questions about legislation to the Leader of the House.
