MAJORITY REPORT. 259 Carre administration allowance has been found to be sufficient.” They submit, however, that the allowance is insufficient where the membership lies between 5,000 and 10,000. 619. It has been suggested by some witnesses that a variable rate of allowance should be instituted according to the size and type of Societies. For instance, the National Association of Trade Union Approved Societies (App. XCII, 144-148: Q. 22,074-22,075) point out that the rate of administration expenditure varies according to the type and size of Society. They suggest that the Ministry should be empowered to vary the amount in the case of Societies with a membership between & given minimum and maximum. They also make the specific suggestion that the allowance should be increased to 4s. 10d. Per member per annum in the case of Societies with less than 50,000 members, and that an additional twopence per member should be allowed in the case of women. The Hearts of Oak Benefit Society (Q. 2972-2974) and the Order of the Sons of Temperance (Q. 21,590) also think that the rate of allowance should be varied according to the type and size of Society. We are not convinced that there is much substance in this claim. On the contrary, we see grave objections to the adoption of a differential rate of administration allowance as between different types of Societies. The adoption of such a device as we have indicated might with some justice be represented as, and it might in fact easily become a contrivance for subsidising the administration of certain forms of organi- sation at the cost of their own members’ benefits. Health Insur- ance exists to promote the advantage of the insured, in whose interests it is essential that there should be throughout the whole administration of the Act a spirit of wise economy. No Society and no type of Society can claim a prescriptive right to a guaranteed existence, quite apart from any question of the cost of its administration. While inevitably in the multitude of Societies there will be differences in the cost of administration, 1t is, we consider, a sound principle that no Society in respect of its administration should require a sum materially in excess of that which the great bulk of other Societies find sufficient. Economy is, after all, one essential constituent of efficiency, and any type of Society which is less markedly economical than other Societies, is ultimately to be condemned as inefficient. Apart from these general considerations we do not consider that differential rates for administration allowance would in any case be defensible in a scheme subject to statutory provisions under which uniform contributions are charged; moreover, we are advised that difficulties would arise in connexion with the Valuation of Societies if effect were to be given to such a Suggestion. We, therefore, recommend that no change in the existing provision should be made except in respect of the matter dealt with in paragraph 242 of our Report.
