§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the very large number of men and women in arrears with their subscriptions under the National Health Insurance Act, he will further consider the possibility of giving them additional assistance, apart from an extension of time to pay?
§ Sir A. MONDThe matter referred to by the hon. Member has already engaged my attention, and I intend to lay on the Table of the House Regulations which will enable approved- societies, if they think fit, to give some additional relief to certain classes of insured persons who by reason of arrears are liable to suspension of cash benefits.
