Mr. C. BATHURST

asked the Secretary to the Treasury why it is proposed to increase the number of members of the Gloucestershire Insurance Committee from fifty to sixty; and from what body or bodies of persons will the additional ten be drawn?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The total membership of the Gloucester Insurance Committee is being increased from fifty to sixty in order to give the medical profession a representation of 1–10th without altering the composition of the committee as prescribed by Section 59 of the National Insurance Act. The additional members will be appointed in accordance with the provisions of that Section.
