HC Deb 19 July 1911 vol 28 c1021
Mr. WILLIAM THORNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the particular persons who will be called upon to pay contributions to the National Insurance scheme in circumstances where youths work for piece-workers and the pieceworkers are employed by contractors?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I will refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member for the Attercliffe Division of Sheffield on the 3rd instant.

Mr. W. THORNE

Does it mean that the piece-worker will be able to deduct the contributions and stamp the card in the same way as an employer?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

Perhaps the hon. Member has not seen the reply to which I have referred:—"In such a case, by paragraph 5 of the Third Schedule, the workman's employer could be treated, under appropriate regulations as the employer of the helper."
