§ 24. Sir GEORGE JONESasked the Minister of Health whether, seeing that a contributor to the national health and pensions insurance, if he loses his card, must replace the card by stamping a duplicate card for any weeks for which the original card was stamped by his employer, he will, in cases where it can be established by unimpeachable evidence that the lost card had the employer's stamps upon it, arrange for a duplicate card to be issued without the contributor having to go to any expense for stamping?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI regret that I cannot adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion, as it is essential for the proper working of the health insurance scheme that nothing should be done which might conduce to laxity on the part of insured persons with regard to the care and surrender of their cards.
