§ 54. Mr. RENDALLasked whether two married women employed for two whole days every week and one married woman employed for three whole days every week at 1s. 3d. a day, and whose husbands are in regular work, are compulsorily insurable persons under the National Insurance Act; whether they may claim exemption; and, if exemption is granted, whether their employer must stamp exemption cards for a whole week's work, or for a part of a week, for each employed woman?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIf the women in question are employed within the meaning of the Act they will be insured as employed contributors unless they apply for and obtain certificates of exemption. Such certificates may be claimed by any persons who possess a pension or income of the annual value of £26 not dependent upon their personal exertions, or who are ordinarily and mainly dependent for their livelihood upon some other person. The weekly contribution of 3d. ordinarily payable in respect of an exempt woman remains payable although the woman may be employed for only a part of the week.
