HC Deb 24 February 1920 vol 125 cc1521-2W
Mr. CHARLES EDWARDS

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received communications from approved societies requesting him to increase the benefits under the National Insurance Act and also the amount allowed for administrative purposes; what reply has been given, if any; and, if no reply has been given, will he state the intention of the Government in this matter?

Dr. ADDISON

In response to representations received from a large number of approved societies I hope at a very early date to introduce a Bill to revise the present scales of health insurance benefits and contributions which will make it possible to increase the amount allowed for administration.
