§ Sir SAMUEL SCOTTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the names of the members and terms of reference to the Departmental Committee appointed by him to inquire into industrial insurance policies; and whether he will ensure that full inquiry is made by the Committee into the question of policies taken out by soldiers and sailors or their dependants which have lapsed during the War?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe Committee to inquire into industrial life assurance has now been appointed, and I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given on the 5th May by my right hon. Friend to the question addressed to the Prime Minister by the Noble Lord the Member for Horsham and Worthing, in which the composition of the Committee and the terms of reference were stated. The practice of industrial companies as regards the lapsing of policies taken out by soldiers and sailors or their dependants will come within the scope of the inquiry.
