§ 44. Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that insurance companies require an extra premium from members of the Royal Air Force Reserve who, when insuring their lives, desire to be covered against war risks; and whether, as the members of the reserve receive no pay, he will consider indemnifying them in respect of such additional premium as may be reasonable?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadI am aware that members of the Royal Air Force Reserve, who, when insuring their lives, desire to be covered against risks which may arise in peace or war in virtue of their membership of the Reserve, are required by insurance companies to pay an extra premium: and this matter, in so far as it affects all non-regular personnel exposed to such risk, is under consideration.
