HC Deb 31 October 1911 vol 30 cc699-700
Mr. WATSON RUTHERFORD

asked whether, before the Insurance Bill becomes law, the Government will give facilities for discussing any alternative proposals for providing the whole or any substantial part of the sums proposed to be compulsorily contributed by the employers and the employed?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

The principles governing the contributions payable under the Insurance Bill have already been decided by the Committee in the Financial Resolution and Clauses 3–7 of the Bill, and the rates can be discussed on the Second Schedule.
