§ 68. Mr. LEACHasked if the Insurance Commissioners will issue a Regulation showing whether a woman who does laundry work on two days a week at two different houses, and who is the wife of an insured worker who supports her, must be insured; and, if so, which of the two employers must pay the employer's 3d.?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIf the employment is regular she must be insured unless she obtains a certificate of exemption under Section 2 of the Act, e.g., on the ground that she is ordinarily and mainly dependent on her husband for her livelihood. Whether she is exempted or not the employer's contribution will be payable in 1845 respect of her, and in the absence of any special arrangement the first employer in the week will be liable.
