THE INSURANCE BILL.
MR. LAW SAYS CONSERVATIVES WOULD REPEAL IT. ONLY TO RECONSTRUCT IT. (Received 16, 8.5 a.m.) London, February 15. la the House of Commons incidentally Mr Asquith asked why Air Law believed the Insurance Bill would be inoperative. Was ho going to repeal the Act ? Mr Bonar Law nodded. Mr Asquith retorted: “Then the first plank of the now Tory platform is to repeal the Insurance Bill.”
Mr Bonar Law’s reply aroused much comment in the lobbies. He afterwards wrote to the newspapers ■explaining that the interjection only meant that the Conservatives would repeal tho Act if they came into power immediately in order to make a thorough reconstruction of its provisions. When the Act was actually in operation drastic amendment was only possible in the House of Lords.
