§ 95. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of National Insurance how many self-employed persons are at present voluntary contributors to existing health and pensions insurance; and what proportion this number bears to the total of self-employed persons in this country.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsThere are about one million voluntary contributors who may be people who have retired, or whose remuneration has passed over the£420 limit, or who have taken up work on their own account. It would not be possible to give the particulars asked for without detailed inquiry of voluntary contributors themselves.
