§ 77. Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that there are a number of bank agents in the country whose work as such does not exceed one or, in some cases, two hours a 1166 day once or twice in the week while the agencies are open; that their remuneration for such work would be at a lower rate than £160 per annum if they were employed in whole-time service, but that their income from their concurrent and regular businesses and professions is often considerable, sometimes exceeding £l,000 a year; and whether, under these circumstances, he will include such agents among those obtaining a certificate of exemption under the National Health (Subsidiary Employments) Order, 1912 (No. 1)?
§ Mr MASTERMANNo cases of the kind referred to have been brought to my notice, and no application for exception has been received.
§ Mr. C. BATHURSTIf any such cases are brought to the right hon. Gentleman's notice, will he exempt them from the operation of the Insurance Act?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI will certainly bring them before the notice of the Commissioners with a view to possible action.
