HC Deb 12 July 1934 vol 292 cc513-4
21. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Health which insurance committees have now applied for the abandonment of economy cuts in the salaries of their officials; and whether approval has been given to such applications?

Sir H. YOUNG

Thirty-five insurance committees have applied for the complete restoration of the cuts made as an emergency economy in the salaries of their officials. In one case approval has been given. With permission, I will circulate a list of the names of these committees in the OFFICIAL REPORT. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a circular issued to insurance committees following the decision of the Government that one-half of the economy deduction made in 1931 shall be restored from 1st July. Replies to that circular are now being received, and consent is being given to the restoration of one-half the cuts originally imposed.

Following is the list:
