HC Deb 16 July 1914 vol 64 c2092
31. Colonel PEEL

asked whether, in view of Schedule I., Part II. (j), of the National Insurance Act, 1911, wives of agricultural labourers temporarily employed during harvest are exempt from insurance as outworkers?

Mr. BENN

The answer is in the negative. The persons referred in paragraph (j) of Part II. of the Schedule are outworkers as defined in paragraph (c) of Part I. of the same Schedule.

Colonel PEEL

May I ask what benefits these temporarily insured persons get under the Insurance Act?

Mr. BENN

They get the usual benefits.
