HC Deb 29 May 1911 vol 26 cc847-8W
Mr. FELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what opportunity is afforded to fishermen and those employed in fishing boats which are absent from the United Kingdom for lengthened periods to obtain the benefits of the National Insurance Bill; and how they or their employers are to carry out the provisions of the Bill?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The Insurance Commissioners are given power to prescribe the intervals at which payment of contributions should be made. Approved societies are given very wide powers for making arrangements for the payment of the benefits.
