HC Deb 08 May 1912 vol 38 cc388-9
Mr. FELL

asked if the emergency cards to be issued to employers under the National Insurance Act, 1911, will be applicable to the cases where the employés are deposit contributors?

Mr. MASTERMAN

Yes, Sir. Both the emergency cards and all other cards will be exactly the same for deposit contributors as for members of approved societies.

Mr. FELL

Will they be used in the case of a casual labourer who gets one day's employment?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The cards will only be used where an insured person is not able to produce a card, but whose employer is under the obligation to stamp a card. It is for the benefit of the employer.
