§ 7. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Commission of Inquiry into Industrial Life Assurance will include in its terms of reference the wages paid to agents; and whether a representative of the National Amalgamated Union of Life Assurance Workers will be given representation on the Committee?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave on 10th April to the question of the hon. Member for Aberdare.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODThe reply on that occasion did not state whether a 2471 representative of the National Amalgamated Union of Life Assurance Workers would be included?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am not prepared to add anything to that answer.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODCan we have a straight answer. Are these people to be represented?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe reply was that the question whether the scope of the inquiry should include the conditions of service of agents and collectors is receiving consideration, and the answer to another question was similar. It is not yet finally settled what are to be the terms of reference or how exactly the Committee will be composed.
