HC Deb 04 May 1933 vol 277 c1031W
Mr. CAPORN

asked the Minister of Health whether he can supply a statement showing the number of persons who, if they remain unemployed until the end of the present year, will cease to be entitled to medical benefit, and the cost per year of maintaining each such person in medical benefit?

Sir H. YOUNG

I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Report of the Government Actuary on the Financial Provisions of the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pensions Bill, 1932, in paragraph 2 of which he will find as close an estimate as is possible of the information required by him.
