An Important Clause

Among the clauses of the Insurance Bill passed yesterday is one providing that in cases in which an insured person emigrates to British colony and becomes a member of a Society approved by the [Insurance Commissoners, he may take the transfer value with him, if the Commissioners are satisfied that the Society gives corresponding rights to members migrating to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lloyd George said that the clause was the first attempt to establish a sort of insurance reciprocity with the colonies. He was prepared to consider suggestions for making the clause more complete.—Reuter.
