HC Deb 05 October 1944 vol 403 c1131
66. Mr. Tom Brown

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the amount of money standing to the credit of the Approved Societies in this country under the National Health Acts on 30th June, 1944.

Mr. Willink

While final figures cannot be given, it is estimated that the balance in the Approved Societies' Current Account at 30th June, 1944, was £13,300,000 and the cost price of investments at that date £104,400,000.

Mr. Tom Brown

Does the Minister's Department propose to use that money to administer the proposed social insurance schemes?

Mr. Willink

I would refer my hon. Friend to the recently published White Paper.
