HC Deb 06 June 1912 vol 39 cc428-9W
Mr. DENNISS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) why insurance workers are so inadequately represented on the Advisory Committee to the Health Insurance Commissioners (England); and what is the principle on which such representation is based and the extent of such representation; also (2) why the claims of the national combined insurance staffs committee for representation on the Advisory Committee to the Health Insurance Commissioners (England) have not been admitted, whereas officials of trade unions and friendly societies and the directorates and management committees of insurance companies and collecting friendly societies are fully represented?

Sir HOWELL DAVIES

asked the Chancellor if he will explain why, in forming the Advisory Committee to the Commissioners of the National Insurance Act, the claims of the national combined insurance staffs committee for representation was ignored, whilst officials of trade unions, of friendly societies, and the directorates and management committees of insurance companies and collecting friendly societies are fully represented?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I have nothing to add to the answers I have already given to my hon. Friend's the Members for Northampton, Pontefract, and West Leeds on 15th May, 4th and 5th June.
