HC Deb 12 February 1913 vol 48 cc935-6
56. Mr. BUTCHER

asked whether, in the case of a person who at the commencement of the National Insurance Act is between sixty-five and seventy, and is employed, but who before attaining seventy retires from the service of his employer on a pension or otherwise, any contributions under Section 49 of the Act will have to be paid by him or his late employer after such retirement, and until he attains the age of seventy?

Mr. MASTERMAN

When a person to whom Section 49 applies ceases permanently to be employed, contributions at once cease to be payable by or in respect of him.

Mr. R. GWYNNE

In that case, then, if the contributions ceased the benefits would cease too?

Mr. MASTERMAN

He gets full benefits for all contributions he has given.
