§ 37. Sir WALTER ESSEXasked how many persons have received benefits under Parts I. and II., respectively, of the National Insurance Act up to the latest date for which figures are available who were not members of any friendly or other sickness or unemployment benefit societies prior to the operation of the said Acts; and for what benefits sums were paid and the totals under the two classes?
Mr. BENNI am afraid that the precise figures for which my hon. Friend asks are not available, but I will circulate with the Votes such particulars as I have been able to obtain from the Insurance Commissioners and the Board of Trade. [See Written, Answers this date.]
