§ Mr. LANE-FOXasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, as the result of certain legal proceedings, the members of the Central Branch of the National Catholic Benefit and Thrift Society are receiving no sickness benefit payments; and whether he can take any action which will relieve their position pending a settlement of the affairs of the society?
§ Sir A. MONDI am not aware that the members of the branch in question are not receiving the benefits to which they are entitled, but I am in communication with the Central Committee of the society with a view to securing that no avoidable delay occurs in the payments of benefits.
