§ Sir. K. WOODasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been recently called by a deputation, representing a number of approved societies whose members are mainly employed in coal mining, to the position of such societies and their request for assistance from existing insurance funds; and what action he is taking in the matter?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The position to which the deputation called my attention will be taken into consideration in connection with the general survey of the schemes of social insurance which is now being made by a Committee of the Cabinet.
