EARL of RONALDSHAYasked 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. HOBHOUSEPresumably 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.
