asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he will take early steps to implement such recommendations of the National Insurance Advisory Committee's Report on Time Limits as can be effected without legislation.

asked the Minister of National Insurance what action he proposes to take to implement the recommendations of the Report of March, 1952, of the National Insurance Advisory Committee on Time Limits.

Yes. I have referred draft Regulations for this purpose to the National Insurance Advisory Committee. As regards those which extend specific time limits I have made provisional Regulations to come into force today. Copies of these are available in the Vote Office.
