HC Deb 03 February 1938 vol 331 c383
71. Mr. T. Smith

asked the Minister of Health the names of local authorities in England and Wales which have obtained powers by local Acts to establish comprehensive insurance funds, and the names of those which have exercised their powers?

Sir K. Wood

According to my information, about 60 local authorities have obtained powers in local Acts to set up general insurance funds. I have no precise information available as to the extent to which any of these local authorities are in fact operating such a fund. I am sending the hon. Member particulars of the 60 local authorities referred to.
