HC Deb 29 November 1916 vol 88 c376W
Mr. PERKINS

asked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether the travelling expenses of members of district committees when attending meetings are not repayable by the county committees or the Commission, whereas the members of the county committees are repaid their travelling expenses and are given an allowance for loss of time; and. if so, whether the Commission will forthwith proceed to remedy this inequality of treatment?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

The provisions of Section 61 of the National Insurance Act. 1911, and of Section 31 of the National Insurance Act, 1913. do not apply to district insurance committees, so that the Commissioners have no power in the matter.
