HC Deb 03 June 1930 vol 239 cc1962-3
54. Sir B. PETO

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the inquiry by the deputy industrial insurance commissioner at Cardiff into the allegations against the Royal Liver Friendly Society of not giving paid-up policy holders their rights under the Industrial Assurance Act, 1923; and whether, seeing that this society do not advise policy holders of their rights to free policies and surrender values on forfeiture notices served upon insurers who are in arrear in the payment of premiums, he will give further consideration to the question of introducing amending legislation to make this compulsory?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the remainder, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him last Thursday.
