HC Deb 15 May 1930 vol 238 cc2048-9
65. Mr. ARTHUR LAW

asked the Minister of Health if he will make provision to ensure the benefits of the National Health Insurance fund being paid to a contributing member whose employer defaults and does not stamp the card, even after legal proceedings have been taken against him?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I regret that I have nothing to add to the replies addressed to the hon. Member with regard to this matter on 20th March and 1st May last, and also to the reply addressed to the hon. Member for Plaistow (Mr. Thorne) on 20th March last on the same subject.

Mr. LAW

Is the Minister prepared to allow the approved societies to stamp the cards and pay the benefits if it is impossible to get the stamps from the employer?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I pointed out that in most cases it is possible to get the stamps from the employer, but, if any other means can be devised, I shall be glad to consider the matter.
