§ Mr. DENMANasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will consider whether, as regards the first quarter's National Health Insurance cards, he can do anything to meet the convenience of a society which has an insured member who was resident in one part of the United Kingdom on entering into insurance, but removed to another part of the United Kingdom before his card is sent up to the Commissioners; and whether he can, for instance, allow that society to send the card to the Commissioners for that part of the United Kingdom in which the member has become resident, having regard to the fact that the contributions must ultimately be credited to, and the benefits paid from, the insurance fund administered by these Commissioners, and not from the fund for the country in which he was originally resident?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIn the case of "international" societies the several bodies of Commissioners are prepared, as regards the first quarter, to allow credit for cards of insured persons who have definitely moved their residence to their respective areas before the time when the cards are sent up, and such societies 1609W should, therefore, send the cards of members who have changed their country of residence between 15th July and the time of sending up the first quarter's card to the Commissioners for that part of the United Kingdom in which the member is resident when the card is sent up, and should treat the member in their books as having been so resident during the quarter. No transfer from one set of books to the other will then be necessary.
