§ Mr. AMERYasked whether approved societies, other than registered friendly 968W societies, will be able to devote funds not created by the contributions under the National Insurance Bill to the increasing or supplementing of benefits under the Bill?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe matter is entirely one for the societies concerned. If the hon. Member is referring to funds accumulated for purposes other than increasing or supplementing benefits under the Bill, and the society is not a registered friendly society nor a society, not registered under the Friendly Societies Acts, but of the kind referred to in Clause 68, the question is one which will have to be determined under the rules and constitution of the society.
