Mr. MASTERMAN

County associations of small rural societies have been formed in twenty-five counties or county areas in England; in eleven of these the constituent societies are the approved units for the purposes of the National Insurance Act. There are also nine associations of a similar constitution, but embracing small urban societies. I will communicate with the hon. Member as to similar societies in the other parts of Great Britain.
