HC Deb 29 February 1916 vol 80 c920W
Mr. TURTON

asked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether, with a view to economy and saving of expense in administration, the National Insurance Commissioners would advise insurance committees that, under present conditions, their meetings should not take place oftener than once a quarter?

Mr. ROBERTS

I have already given this matter some consideration, and I need not say that the object of my hon. Friend's suggestion has my warmest support. A large number of insurance committees already hold quarterly meetings only, and the Commissioners are advising other insurance committees to adopt a similar course in all cases in which this can be done without prejudice to the essential work of national health insurance.
