§ 76. Mr. Championasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been drawn to the Report 144W of the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies for 1956; and whether he will introduce legislation to stop the practice, referred to in the Report, of building societies in charging premiums when advances are made.
Mr. AmoryI have seen the Chief Registrar's Report on Building Societies for 1956. Legislation relating to the practice of building societies in charging premiums on mortgage advances is not contemplated.
