§ 76. Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he can now state the number of voluntary contributors under the National Insurance Act?
§ Mr. MASTERMANNo, Sir, accurate information is not yet available. I believe about 10,000 voluntary contributors' cards have already been received from societies and about 200,000 cards for the third quarter have been applied for by societies in England for distribution either to their branches or to members direct. The number will, therefore, be something between these figures.
