§ 46. Major Conantasked the Prime Minister what progress has been made in the establishment of a co-ordinating agency for the many Service benevolent funds in order to prevent overlapping and ensure that cases of hardship are dealt with expeditiously.
§ Mr. AttleeThe co-ordinating agency which was formed last year has, I understand, been dissolved.

§ Mr. AttleeThese are voluntary funds.
