HC Deb 28 February 1912 vol 34 c1496W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he can state whether the Insurance Commissioners have written to the secretaries of trade unions asking them to become lecturers for the purpose of explaining the Insurance Act, and whether they were informed that if they proved themselves possessed of ability they would stand a good chance of being appointed inspectors under the Act and thus secure a good position for life?

Mr. MASTERMAN

As will be seen from the White Paper which was circulated last night, some trade union officials have received appointments as temporary lecturers. It is quite untrue that any promise has been given of permanent employment.
