§ 32. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Health, with regard to the request to him from certain approved societies who have no surplus funds under the Health Insurance Act to meet a deputation representing them and his refusal to meet them, if he will state the reasons for such refusal?
§ Mr. E. BROWNAs the approved societies in question have been informed, my right hon. Friend is not satisfied that the expenditure on the proposed deputation would be justified by any advantage to be gained thereby. He has, however, invited the societies to submit a written statement of the representations they wish to make.
