§ 54. Mr. BECKETTasked whether principals of private schools are responsible for the employer's contribution under the National Insurance Act in the case of teachers during the periods of vacation, but who are resident in school term?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIf the teachers receive remuneration in respect of the holidays the employer will be responsible for contributions during holiday time.
§ 55. Mr. BECKETTasked who is responsible for the payment of the employer's contribution under the National Insurance Act in the case of non-resident teachers in private schools who are employed in two or more of such schools during the week?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe first employer in the week is liable unless the various employers agree to pay contributions in rotation under an arrangement authorised by the Regulations of the Insurance Commissioners. A form of agreement and book for use in such cases, of which I am sending a specimen to the hon. Member, may be obtained on application to the Commissioners. Private agreements (not affecting the legal responsibility) could also, of course, be arranged between the different employers for sharing the employers' contributions.
