§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Minister of Health why he declined to allow the Committee of Management of the Derby Provident Approved Society to decide upon its own scheme of additional benefits resulting from the quinquennial valuation ended 31st December, 1937; and under what powers he is exercising this authority?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him by my predecessor in office on 30th November last. I have received some representations from the approved society in question, and I am arranging for the matter to be discussed with representatives of the society.
