For instance, while the endowment
policy is more expensive from an in
surance point of view, if the insured
lives to the end of the endowment
period, it is one of the cheapest forms
of insurance, and a stated preference
for this policy therefore should not
be discouraged.

ommend, in the most emphatic terms,
that the Government Insurance is al
good thing. You cannot expect tlicj

Thr fiovernmont nremium does not

All of this is borne by the tax payer.
