MAJORITY REPORT. 279 (35) That the members of an international Society resident in any national areas other than that in which the head office of the Society is situated should be given a further opportunity of electing, subject fo the consent of the central body of the Society, to have a combined valuation for the whole Society ; but that no new option should be given to international Societies to be valued separately in respect of each part of the United Kingdom in which they operate. (paras. 562-563.) (86) That Section 30 (2) should be amplified so as to provide that where the number of members of an international Society who are resident in any national area other than that in which the head office of the Society is situated is less than a definite percentage of the total membership and is not more than a certain number, approval may be withdrawn in respect of that area and the members resident therein should be deemed to be resident in the area in which the head office is situated. (para. 606.) (37) That where at a general meeting of an Approved Society with branches a resolution in favour of the centralisation of the branches either wholly or in districts is passed by such substantial (e.g., four-fifths) majority representative of the insured members as may be prescribed, such resolution should, subject to pre- scribed conditions, be binding on all branches of the Society. (para. 609.) (38) That the provisions of Section 76 for the pooling of the Contingencies Funds of small Societies through associations should be repealed, but that existing associations be allowed to continue on a voluntary non-statutory basis for the purposes of consultation and general co-operation. (para. 567.) (39) That Section 72 should be amplified so as to give to the Auditors powers of disallowance and surcharge in the case of tmproper expenditure by Approved Societies. (para. 244.) 'st Parrian Poona oF SURPLUSES. (40) That while the possibility of the existence of differences in the benefits provided by different Societies may justifiably be continued as a feature of the Scheme of National Health Insurance, the disparities which have emerged are greater than are expedient in the interests of the insured community regarded as a whole; and that, therefore, some mitigation of these in- equalities is desirable. (para. 255.) (41) That to effect this result, a scheme of partial pooling of surpluses on the following lines should be instituted :— (a) No surplus (including Contingencies Fund) which has accrued prior to the change of system should be subject to pooling, and thereafter pooling should apply only to such part of a surplus as has accrued since the date of the last 54702 .
