HC Deb 18 July 1911 vol 28 c865
EARL of RONALDSHAY

asked if employés of railway companies who are obliged, as a condition of their service, to join the sick benefit society of the company will also be compelled to join an approved society and will be liable to the statutory deductions from their wages provided for by the Insurance Bill?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

Presumably a railway company would not continue its sick benefit society at all except as an approved society under Clause 19 of the National Insurance Bill, since otherwise not only the men but also the company would be contributing twice over.
