National Insurance Audit Department

HC Deb 08 November 1949 vol 469 cc105-6W

79. Mr. Gammans

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the reason for the delay in winding up the National Insurance audit department, in view of the fact that the payment of benefits from the approved societies ceased on 5th July, 1948; and when he expects the department to be closed down finally.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Because the statutory certification and audit of the approved societies' accounts has not yet been completed. It is hoped to complete this work and to close down the department entirely not later than 30th November, 1950.
