§ 77. Mr. CURRIEasked the number and the monetary value of the reserve values credited to the Central Fund for those members of approved societies who have gone out of insurance up to 31st December, 1915, and up to the present time, showing separately, if possible, the respective amounts and number for each of the National Commissions and for the Joint Commission?
Mr. ROBERTSI regret that I am not in possession of the information desired by the hon. Member as to the amounts due to be credited to the Central Fund referred to in the question. This information could only be collected by obtaining statistical returns from approved societies which are not essential to the current work of administration and for which therefore the Commissioners have not thought it right to press in view of the serious difficulies which reduction of staff, consequent upon the War, has imposed upon societies.
