§ Mr. LANE-FOXasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether representations have been made to him that in the case of those suffering from some infirmity, such as total or partial blindness, the provisions in the Second Schedule of the Insurance Bill, demanding a higher contribution towards their insurance by the employer in proportion to the lower wages paid to them, will make employment less easy for them to obtain; and whether he will consider the possibility of exempting such cases of infirmity from the operation of that schedule?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)I will consider the hon. Member's suggestion, but I fear I feel doubts as to its practicability.
