HC Deb 04 March 1919 vol 113 c249W
Sir K. WOOD

asked the Chairman of the National Health Insurance Joint Committee whether it is proposed to increase the cash benefits under the National Health Insurance Act; and whether he proposes to consult the Advisory Committee as to the amount of any such increase and generally as to such proposals?

Major ASTOR

I cannot at present add anything to the reply given on the 21st ultimo to the hon. Member for Derby on this very question, except to say that the Advisory Committee would certainly be brought fully into council at an early stage of the formulation of any such proposals.
