HC Deb 04 December 1911 vol 32 cc1027-8
Mr. HUNT

asked whether a charwoman employed regularly at 3s. a day for one, two, or three days in each week will have to pay the full 3d. a week under the National Insurance Bill?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

If the charwoman is regularly employed so that the arrangement amounts to a contract of service, her employer will have to pay 6d. in respect of her and deduct 3d. from her wages each week.

Mr. HUNT

If she is only employed one day a week, will she have to pay the full 3d.?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Yes, if she is regularly employed.

Mr. SNOWDEN

Supposing she is working under contracts of service for different employers, will she have to pay 3d. in respect of each employer?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

No.
