HC Deb 21 April 1913 vol 52 c42W
Sir JOHN LONSDALE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that the conjoint committee of the Irish Medical Association and British Medical Association received a definite pledge that a minimum capitation rate of 2s. 6d. would be provided for certification in the event of medical benefits for Ireland being deleted from the National Insurance Act; and if, in redemption of this pledge, he intends to make a further Grant to enable the Irish Commissioners to meet the financial difficulties in the way of the efficient working of the Act in Ireland?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second does not therefore arise.
