HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 cc1393-4W
Mr. KEATING

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Board of Trade has instructed insurance companies to withhold a distribution of profits on with-profit policies for 1915; and, if so, seeing that this will discriminate to the disadvantage of holders of such policies, will he say why such action has been taken?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Board of Trade have not given any instruction to insurance companies to withhold a distribution of profits on with-profit policies.
