The District Insurance Committee (Poplar Borough).
The General Purposes Committee reported early in the year that
the Insurance Committee for the County of London, in pursuance of the
provisions of Section 59 (4) of the National Insurance Act, 1911, formulated
a scheme for the appointment of District Insurance Committees
within the County of London, after consultation with the London County
Council.
The District Insurance Committee for the Borough will consist of
35 members, 7 of whom are to be appointed by the Borough Council.
One of the Council's representatives must be a woman, one a medical
practitioner and one the Medical Officer of Health, if willing to serve, and
subject to the consent of the Council.
The General Purposes Committee recommended the Council that
that Councillors Mrs. T. S. Attlee, R. H. Green, A. E. Thorpe (and two
others), together with Dr. Jonathan Fearnley and the Medical Officer
of Health, be appointed to represent the Council on the District Insurance
Committee for the Borough.
Councillors M. Dalton and Edwin J. Aldrick were appointed by the
Council.
