HC Deb 16 July 1914 vol 64 c2118W
Colonel CHALONER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the National Health Commissioners to give instructions to the Prudential Approved Society to withdraw the distinctive marks which this society has been in the habit of placing on the stamp cards issued by them to insured persons, or if all societies have the liberty to introduce similar marks on cards issued by them?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN

The Regulations allow a society, if it thinks fit, to inscribe upon the card the number of the contributor as it appears in the books of the society. In the case of societies with a large membership a number or letter indicating the division or district would frequently form part of the membership number. The Commissioners would, however, be unable to approve of the addition to the membership number of letters which would indicate the society to which the member belonged.
