§ Sir W. EDGEasked the Minister of Health when he expects to be able to make a statement as to any remedial steps which can be taken to meet the loss of medical attendance suffered by those men and women who, having been unemployed for some time, have lapsed from insurance; and whether he can state the numbers which have so lapsed since the beginning of the year?
Sir H. YOUNGI would refer my hon. Friend to the memorandum explanatory of the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pensions Bill (Cmd. 4905), and to the report of the Government Actuary thereon (Cmd. 4906), which were presented on 23rd May.
