HC Deb 28 February 1912 vol 34 c1351
Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, having regard to the fact that under the National Insurance Act as it stands any person who, having been compulsorily insured for a period of five years, may become and remain a voluntary insurer entitled to medical benefit at such annual rate as may be arranged, be his income what it may, it is proposed by regulation of the Commissioners, or otherwise, to fix any limit of income beyond which such insured person shall cease to be entitled to medical benefit at the common rate?
