§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked whether, in the case of a clerk or other employed person who, in order to evade insurance under the National Insurance Act, represents to his employer that his total income, including his salary, is over the limit of £160 a year, when in fact it is not, and the employer has no means of 1283 ascertaining the inaccuracy of such representation, the employer will be subject to a penalty in the event of such employed person remaining uninsured?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe exception from compulsory insurance referred to depends upon the rate of remuneration, and not upon the total income, exceeding £160 a year. The difficulty suggested could not therefore arise.
