HC Deb 06 June 1912 vol 39 c289
39. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether passive resistance to the payment of compulsory contributions under the National Insurance Act will be regarded in the same light as passive resistance to payments due under the Education Act, 1902, so as to assure persons concerned of the friendly intervention of his Department?

Mr. McKENNA

I do not know what the hon. Member means by the friendly intervention of my Department, nor have I any reason to anticipate the hypothetical circumstances on which he grounds his question.
