HC Deb 20 March 1911 vol 23 c183W
Mr. BOOTH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the representative of the Manchester Unity who received confidential news of the State insurance scheme was pledged to silence for a definite time or until the introduction of the proposed Bill?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I must refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave him on 7th March.

Mr. BOOTH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware than an important Debate on sickness and invalidity insurance is arranged for this evening, and whether he can say that any authorised plan or outline of the Bill can be supplied for use in this Debate?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

My right hon. Friend will have no further statement to make on the subject until the proposals of the Government are settled.
