Forces of the Crown. 
(99) That the benefits payable out of the Navy, Army and 
Air Force Insurance Fund to discharged men who are established 
as permanent members of the Fund, should in future include 
additional benefits equivalent, as near as may be, to the average 
of those provided by Approved Societies in general. (para. 542.) 
(100) That members of the Navy, Army and Air Force Insur- 
ance Fund who transfer to an Approved Society on their discharge 
from the Forces should, for the purpose of title to additional 
benefits, be treated as though they had been members of the 
Society from the date of their joining the Forces, and that to 
enable this to be done the transfer values payable out of the 
Navy, Army and Air Force Insurance Fund in respect of such 
men should be augmented by the estimated share of surplus 
earned during their period of service. (para. 542.) 
(101) That apart from the modifications in (26) and (100) 
above, no change should be made with regard to the insurance of

provision to this effect. (para. 550.) 
© (104) That the special arrangements under Section 63 (5) for 
providing medical benefit to members of the Seamen's National 
Insurance Society be discontinued, and that members of the 
Society should in future receive their medical benefit under the 
normal arrangements. (para. 552.) 
(105) That all persons who have served in the British Mer- 
cantile Marine, whether members of Approved Societies or not, 
should be eligible for pensions from the Liascar Fund. (para. 
555.) 
(106) That Section 64 (5) of the Act should be amended so as 
to provide that the cost of administering the Lascar Fund should 
be borne by the Fund itself. (para. 557.) 
(107) That the State Grant on pensions or other benefits pay- 
able out of the Liascar Fund should be withdrawn. (para. 558.)
