HC Deb 27 July 1914 vol 65 c906
20. Mr. WATSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, on the Report stage of the National Insurance Act, 1911 (Part II. Amendment) Bill, he will consider the question of giving special relief to old workmen in the insured trades who are now over seventy years of age in relation to repayments under Section 95 of the principal Act?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Burns)

An Amendment to the National Insurance Act, 1911 (Part II. Amendment) Bill is already put down in my name to be moved on the Report stage which, I think, fully meets the point raised in the hon. Member's question.

Mr. WATSON

May I send the right hon. Gentleman particulars of the cases I have in mind?

Mr. BURNS

I shall be pleased to show the hon. Member my Amendment. I think he will find it meets his case.
