I presume my hon. Friend has in mind schemes of insurance by mutual indemnity associations. The position as regards these was indicated in the replies given on the 6th April and 18th May to questions by the hon. Member for Leigh (Mr. Tinker). Since then my right hon. Friend has been in further consultation with the Mining Association of Great Britain, through whom the negotiations in this matter have been conducted, with a view to completing the arrangements, and although he is not at present in a position to make any further statement, he desires me to give an assurance that the matter is being very actively pursued, and that he will not rest content until satisfactory arrangements have been established in every area.
