HC Deb 23 January 1913 vol 47 c623W
Mr. C. BATHURST

asked the Secretary to the Treasury what is the total number of societies of less than 5,000 members approved under the National Insurance Act; and how many of these have less than fifty members?

Mr. MASTERMAN

Exact figures are not yet available. I am informed, however, that about 1,600 of the societies approved have less than 5,000 members, and that of these about fifty appear, from the present returns of cards, to have less than fifty members.
