§ 1. Major ENTWISTLEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the large numbers of industrial insurance policy-holders who are protected under the Courts Emergency Powers Act; and whether he has made any inquiries as to the position of these policy-holders when that Act ceases to operate?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridgeman)My right hon. Friend is aware that a large number of industrial policy-holders the premiums on whoso policies have not been paid during the War are covered by the provisions of the Courts (Emergency Powers) Act. The question as to the position of these policy-holders will be borne in mind when determining the scope of an inquiry into industrial assurance business which it has been decided to hold.
