asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East (1) whether any objections have been made to the draft Regulations, dated 3rd April, 1914, proposed to be made by the joint committee, entitled the National Health Insurance (Withdrawal of Approval) Regulations, 1914; and when the Regulations or provisional Regulations based on the draft Regulations will be laid before the House; (2) whether any objections have been made to the draft Regulations, dated 3rd April, 1914, proposed to be made by the joint committee, entitled the National Health Insurance (Dissolution of Societies) Regulations, 1914; and when the Regulations or provisional Regulations based on the draft Regulations will be laid before the House; and (3) whether any objections have been made to the draft Regulations, dated 31st March, 1914, proposed to be made by the joint committee, entitled the National Insurance (Amalgamation and Transfer of Engagements) Regulations, 1914; and when the Regulations or provisional Regulations based on the draft Regulations will be laid before the House?

Mr. BENN

Representations have been received with regard to certain details of these draft Regulations, and are now under consideration. The Regulations will be made and laid before the House under the ordinary procedure when the points in question have been decided. The Regulations are not operative in the meantime.

Mr. WORTHINGTON EVANS

Has objection been taken to each one of the three, and when is the answer to the objections likely to be given?

Mr. BENN

I cannot give a detailed report as to what objections have been received, but some have been received.

Mr. WORTHINGTON EVANS

Against all?

Mr. BENN

I cannot say.
