§ 10. Mr. CURRIEasked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether his attention has been drawn to the emphasis laid by the Investigation Committee upon the fact that insured persons were in 1911 urged to segregate themselves into societies that seemed to promise satisfactory results and to the suggestion of the Committee described by itself in its report as a proposed withdrawal of the privilege conferred by the Act of 1911, to which, in the Committee's view individual societies may have attached considerable importance, of being enabled by a careful choice of their associates to escape a liability in respect of societies less fortunately situated; and whether the evidence placed before the Committee on this point can be published?
§ Mr. C. ROBERTS (Comptroller of the Household)I would refer the hon. Member to the recommendations contained in paragraphs 68 to 73 of the Committee's Interim Report, in regard to small societies. I am informed that the Committee did not hear oral evidence on the matters dealt with in their Interim Report.
