§ Mr. BARTONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in filling up posts arising under the National Insurance scheme, he will use his influence with the Commissioners to secure preference for suitable persons who may lose employment by reason of the scheme, such as collectors and clerks employed by doctors in industrial areas?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI have no doubt that the Insurance Commissioners will have due regard to such considerations as that suggested by my hon. Friend, so far 1549W as they may be compatible with the primary object of securing the men best qualified for appointment, but I may add that any employment suitable for the qualifications of such persons as my hon. Friend has in mind will be a matter rather for the approved societies than for the Insurance Commissioners.
