NATIONAL INSURANCE.
Pi ess Association-—By Telegraph—Copyright. £ONDON, August 2. In tho course of a letter to tho South Wales Oalvinistic Methodists’ Association, Mr Lloyd George says that clergymen came within the provisions of his Insurance Bill, either compulsory or voluntary—the former if they are under a contract of service and if their salary did not exceed £l6O per annum. In the House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that if he found that hospitals were seriously endangered by the operation of the Insurance Bill it would be the duty of the .Government to find a remedy. He accepted Dr Addison’s amendment transferring the administration of the medicine benefit from approved societies to local health committees. Dr C. Addison (Liberal member for Hoxton) said that the doctors objected to the contract practice, and tho prospect of its extension throughout the country was viewed with alarm. His amendment would be regarded as a fair settlement of tho differences between the societies and the doctors.
