HC Deb 18 February 1926 vol 191 cc2142-3W
Mr. GROTRIAN

asked the Minister of Health how many industrial insurance policies have lapsed since 1914, whereby the poor persons concerned have lost the whole of their contributions thereunder; the total sum represented by such policies; and will he appoint a committee to inquire into the whole matter?

Mr. RONALD McNEILL

I regret that the information asked for is not available. The whole matter was inquired into by the Departmental Committee presided over by Lord Parmoor which reported in 1920, and their recommendations were embodied in the Industrial Assurance Act, 1923.
