HC Deb 16 March 1916 vol 80 c2259
79. Mr. BOOTH

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if the Treasury Committee has made any progress in considering the simplification of the working of the National Insurance scheme and the economies to be effected; and whether an interim Report suggesting drastic savings of expense can be presented to the House?

The CHANCELLOR of the DUCHY of LANCASTER (Mr. Montagu)

I understand that the Committee have made considerable progress with their labours, but no Report has yet been received from them.
