§ 47. Mr. C. EDWARDSasked the Prime Minister whether, in the interest of the payees and with a view to providing a pension scheme for persons of 60 years of age, he will consider the appointment of a Commission to consider the desirability of co-ordinating all friendly society business, health and unemployment insurance, compensation schemes, and all agencies dealing with relief during incapacity from work?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo, Sir; His Majesty's Government do not see their way to adopt the suggestion in the question.
§ Mr. EDWARDSWhat is the reason for that reply? Does not the right hon. Gentleman think there are great possibilities in some such scheme?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAll these questions have many attractions, but they are subject to the limitations of time and money.
