There is one other point which is still rather in doubt. This Prolongation of Insurance Act has become a Statute upon which vast issues will depend, on which in fact the whole of the rights of hundreds of thousands of persons will depend. Yet that Act is merely an annual Statute, which was originally timed to come to an end in 1922, but has been renewed each year in the Expiring Laws Continuance Act. I have already heard suggestions from some societies that they wish the Prolongation of Insurance Act to be brought to an end before very long.
