§ 47. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the reason for the reduction of £404,000, from 671 £6,443,000 to £6,039,000, in the estimated grant to the National Health Insurance Scheme, 1933–34, as set forth in Table C, page 9, of the Financial Statement, 1933–34?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer the hon. Member to paragraph 58 of the Memorandum on the Civil Estimates for 1933 by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, where he will find a full explanation of the reduction to which he refers.
§ Mr. DAVIESCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Actuary was consulted before that decision was reached?
