HC Deb 22 December 1915 vol 77 c500W
Mr. HAYDN JONES

asked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether he will explain why the number of unclaimed insurance cards bearing stamps in the hands of the Commissioners for Wales is as high as 39,000?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

I am informed that nearly half the cards referred to consist of cards recovered from insured persons who have enlisted and of emergency cards received from certain large employers who have now discontinued the use of such cards except in the appropriate circumstances.
