Mr. MONTAGUE BARLOWasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the experience which the big friendly societies have now accumulated of the actual working of insurance amongst the people, and also in view of the standard of expert actuarial knowledge possessed by the secretaries and officials of these societies and the confidence which they command amongst the members of the societies, he can give the House any assurance that he will be able to secure the help and co-operation of any of these officials as Insurance Commissioners or in any other working capacity under the National Insurance Bill when it comes into operation?
