THE INSURANCE ACT.
THE CHANCELLOR’S STATEMENT. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) London, January 18.
The Nationalist-Liberal Club gave a banquet to celebrate the inauguration of the insurance benefits.
Mr Lloyd George (Chancellor of the Exchequer) said it had been the toughest and most baffling fight of the Liberal Party. It really was a nonparty measure, and he had invited the Opposition to confer in making amendments and improvements. The offer had been rejected in the hope of securing electioneering advantages. Five thousand people had received sanatorium benefits. The insurance committees were working throughout the country. The medical panels were adequately filled in North London. He would he happy to correct anything unduly pressing on the doctors but he would decline giving further inducements to persuade or cajole those not joining the panels. A meeting of tire Medical Association resolved to release the doctors from their pledge re not serving in the insurance panels.
