Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Secretary to the Treasury how many insurance committees have appointed medical referees; and whether he will state what the duties of the referees are and from what fund they are paid?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIf my hon. Friend refers to the medical referees who will determine questions as to the scope of medical benefit under paragraph 55 of the Medical Regulations, no such referees have yet been appointed, as no such questions have yet arisen for decision in this manner. One or two medical advisers have been appointed in connection with the checking of sickness certificates, etc. I will send my hon. Friend a memorandum setting out in detail the terms of appointment of these officers.
