§ 43. Sir Hugh O'Neillasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that a certain firm taken over by his Department has in operation a group life assurance scheme for the benefit of its employés in connection with which it deducted the weekly premiums from wages; that the officials in charge of the business now refuse to continue these deductions or to allow the insurance society to interview members of the staff; and, in view of the prejudice being caused by such action to the employés of this firm, will he give immediate instructions that the operation of the group assurance scheme be continued under Government management exactly as it was previously?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am having inquiries made into this matter and will communicate further with my right hon. Friend.
