Mr. CHAMBERLAIN:

As a result of discussion with the Insurance Consulta- tive Council, it is not now contemplated that any general re-arrangement of the insurance medical system will be made. Certain modifications of the terms of services have been recommended by the Council, but these will not involve any substantial change in the present system. No ease has, in my view, been made out for a separate investigation of the kind suggested by the hon. Member, which would complicate the negotiations and so tend to delay a settlement.
