§ 5 and 6. Mr. WADDINGTONasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) if he will favourably consider the inclusion, in the terms of reference to the Committee on Industrial Insurance, the terms and conditions of service of all grades of the outdoor staffs of life insurance offices; (2) if, in appointing the Committee on Industrial Insurance, he will reconsider his previous decision and appoint a representative of the agents and collectors to serve on such Committee, in view of the proved value of having those actively working in a business directly represented?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe terms of reference to the Committee to be appointed to inquire into the question of industrial assurance have not yet been finally settled, but the suggestion that the inquiry should include the terms and conditions of service of all grades of the outdoor staff of industrial life offices shall receive consideration. As regards the insurance agents and collectors having a direct representative on the Committee, I am not able to add anything to the answer which was given to the hon. Member on the 13th March.
