HC Deb 14 November 1934 vol 293 cc1964-5
57. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the anxiety among unemployed men and women if the right among such people to pay arrears to maintain their health insurance right is withdrawn; and if he proposes to extend the present provisions for paying arrears till the end of March of next year as was done previously?

Sir H. YOUNG

I had already decided to grant the same extension of the period of grace for the redemption of arrears by insured persons as was given last year and publicity has already been given to this decision by means of a circular to all approved societies and by notices in the public Press.
