HC Deb 08 May 1913 vol 52 c2232W
Mr. BARNES

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if it is competent for an insurance committee to exclude the Press from the general or full meetings of the committee, as apart from sub-committee meetings, having regard to the fact that part-public moneys are being administered?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The Insurance Commissioners have not issued any regulations on this subject, but they have suggested that insurance committees should apply to their meetings the provisions with regard to the admission of the Press to meetings of local authorities contained in the Local Authorities (Admission of the Press to Meetings) Act, 1908.
