§ 11. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Minister of National Insurance whether in order to safeguard employers of part-time labour from having to pay large arrears of insurance contributions in respect of part-time employees whom they understand to be in the primary employment of another, she will make compulsory notification by all such part-time employees of the names and addresses of all persons from whom they may accept other part-time employment.
§ Dr. SummerskillI am not aware of any general difficulty which would justify such a burdensome measure of compulsion.
§ Sir T. MooreDoes the right hon. Lady think it fair that this extra responsibility should be placed on the employers of part-time labour? It is especially a responsibility which is bound to increase with the rearmament drive.
§ Dr. SummerskillI have always regarded the hon. and gallant Member as fair in matters of this kind, and surely he would not ask me to put the same responsibility on the shoulders of the employees.
