§ Mr. C.

Mr. ROBERTSMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I have received representations to the effect stated in the question, both orally and in writing, and I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a letter which has been issued to approved societies in response to inquiries.
