HC Deb 20 May 1914 vol 62 cc1921-2
23. Mr. DUNCAN MILLAR

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the urgent nature of the question, he is now able to make any announcement as to the provision of a further sum towards meeting the administration expenses of the smaller county and burgh insurance committees?

30. Major HOPE

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the Insurance Commissioners, whether he is aware that the necessary expenditure of the majority of Scottish insurance committees has during the past year largely exceeded the sum allowed to meet their administration expenses; and if he will state what action he proposes to take in order to enable these committees to continue to carry out the duties imposed upon them under the National Insurance Act?

Mr. GEOFFREY HOWARD

I am afraid that I am not at present in a position to add anything to my hon. Friend's replies on this subject.
