§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether there is any other fund in the nature of an insurance fund under the control or cognisance of the Treasury like the Irish Constabulary Force 630W Fund in the management of which the contributors have no voice, in which the request of 95 per cent, of the contributors to have the fund distributed is refused, and from which contributors who survive their wives and children never derive any benefit, no matter how much they have contributed to the fund or what their need; and, in view of the hardship inflicted upon those contributors as compared with contributors to any other insurance scheme, whether the Treasury will sanction the distribution of this fund or its transfer to the Irish Insurance Commissioners to be dealt with by them at their discretion?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEWith reference to the first part of the question, I cannot usefully add anything to the very full replies recently given by my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary on 18th December and the 2nd, 9th, and 16th January. As regards the second part of the question, the fund cannot be diverted from the fulfilment of its obligations.
