HC Deb 24 February 1916 vol 80 c830W
Mr. HODGE

asked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, the reason why no Irish labour representative has been included on the Committee appointed to inquire into the working of the National Insurance Act, seeing that representatives of friendly societies, employers, and denominational societies have been included; and whether steps will now be taken to add a representative of Irish trade union approved societies?

Mr. McKENNA

Having regard to the large size of the Committee as at present constituted, I do not consider I should be justified in adding to its numbers.
