HC Deb 19 June 1911 vol 27 cc118-9W
Mr. BOYTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under the National Insurance Bill the managers and inmates of cripples' homes, voluntary homes of various kinds, and penitentiaries for women come in as employers and employés and have to make contribution to the sickness fund to the extent of 26s. a year per inmate?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will refer the hon. Member to the reply given by me orally to-day to the hon. Member for Wandsworth.

Mr. TOUCHE

asked the Chancellor if he will provide for the exemption of charities, such as the London Female Preventive and Reformatory Institution, which has 190 inmates in its homes, from the obligation to pay 26s. per head per annum for each of such inmates under the National Insurance Bill, and substitute a provision either that the State shall provide the insurance money for the inmates while in the homes, or that payments and benefits be suspended during residence in the homes?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will refer the hon. Member to the reply given by me orally to-day to the hon. Member for Wandsworth.
