HC Deb 09 August 1911 vol 29 cc1138-9
Mr. GOLDMAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a person employed by and working solely on behalf of one employer on commission only is intended to be within exception (d) in Part II. of the First Schedule of the National Insurance Bill; and whether a person employed by one company only and receiving a weekly salary in addition to a commission is excluded from the provisions of the Bill?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Exception (d) in Part II. of the First Schedule only refers to an agent not ordinarily employed by one employer only. A person employed by one company only would, therefore, not be excluded by reason of this exception from the provisions of the Bill.

Mr. GOLDMAN

Arising out of the answer of the right hon. Gentleman, can he state specifically whether the eighty odd thousand collecting agents for industrial societies, whose income varies from £40 to £100, will be entitled to enjoy the benefits of the Insurance Bill?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Yes, certainly.
