HC Deb 12 November 1931 vol 259 cc273-4W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health approximately the number of insured persons who have been able to maintain their membership of approved societies, to the last convenient date, through the operations of the Prolongation of Insurance Act, 1930?

Sir H. YOUNG

A reliable figure of the number of persons whose period of insurance has been extended under the provisions of the Prolongation of Insurance Act, 1930, will not be available until returns have been received from the 7,000 approved societies and branches after the end of the current year.

Mr. BUCMANAN

asked the Prime Minister if the Government propose to continue the present Act for the prolongation of insurance which expires this year?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have been asked to reply. The answer is in the affirmative.
