43. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANSasked whether an insured person who becomes an employed contributor after the age of fifty will become entitled to disablement benefit if permanently disabled after he has paid 104 contributions for 104 weeks; and whether, if the rules of an approved society stipulate that 500 contributions must have been paid in such a case before the insured person is qualified for disablement benefit, the Commissioners will cause public notice to be given that such rules are ultra vires?
Mr. ROBERTSONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The Commissioners are not aware of any case in which the rules of a society are in error on the point, and they would be glad if the hon. Member will let them know of any case which has come to his notice.
