§ Mr. HARMOOD-BANNERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended to limit the rate of allowance to approved societies on a uniform scale for management expenses; and what means will be adopted to reduce the present charges for management, in view of the fact that the cost of collection of contributions is entirely done away with and placed on the shoulders of the employers?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGENo uniform scale of administration expenses is prescribed in the Bill. It will obviously be in the interests of societies to reduce such expenses as far as possible, but by an Amendment which has been introduced into the Bill the Insurance Commissioners are given power to prescribe a maximum for costs of administration.
