HC Deb 27 July 1914 vol 65 cc907-8
70. Mr. HOARE

asked what are the duties of the Chelsea District Insurance Committee; how many times they have met since their constitution; and whether they have at their disposal any funds and, if so, upon what conditions and to what extent?

Mr. BENN

The duties which may be delegated and assigned to district insurance committees in London, and the financial arrangements for their discharge, are specified in the scheme framed by the London Insurance Committee, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. My right hon. Friend is informed that the Committee referred to have met once.

Mr. HOARE

Is any money at their disposal, and, if so, how much?

Mr. BENN

I think the hon. Member will find all the information in the scheme which I am sending him.
