HC Deb 11 June 1913 vol 53 cc1615-6
50. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

asked how many of the 20,500 voluntary contributors under the National Insurance Act were already insured in friendly societies before the Act came into operation; and how many of the 20,500 are women?

Mr. MASTERMAN

With regard to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. and gallant Member for Chelmsford. Five thousand six hundred of the 20,500 voluntary contributors are women.
