HC Deb 01 May 1930 vol 238 c378W
Mr. T. LEWIS

asked the Minister of Health whether, in cases where on the result of a valuation of an approved society being made known the society is dissatisfied as to the ratio of disposable and non-disposable surpluses as certified by the valuer, he will bring in the necessary legislation to enable any question or dispute arising between the Minister and the society or branch in respect of the amount certified to be disposable for additional benefits to be determined in the same manner as laid down under Section 78 (5) of the National Health Insurance Act, 1924, for determining questions or disputes arising in connection with a deficiency on valuation?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The proportion of a valuation surplus which can safely be certified as disposable involves actuarial considerations and is essentially a matter for the professional judgment of the valuer. I am, therefore, not prepared to propose the alteration in the law suggested by my hon. Friend.
