HC Deb 02 August 1912 vol 41 cc2500-1W
Sir HENRY KIMBER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, having regard to the statement of the National Insurance Commissioners to the effect that if, after valuation under Section 36 of the Act, a deficiency is found in the funds to provide the benefits, an approved society may impose a levy on its members and their employers and require the employers to pay such levy, with recourse against the employé, will he say which of several successive employers of the employed person would be required to pay such levy, or whether such levy may be made upon all his successive employers; if he is lastly employed only as a casual, would the last of his employers so employing him as a casual be required to pay such levy; and how are any of such employers to recover the levy from the employed person?

Mr. MASTERMAN

In any case in which a society has given notice to an employer of a compulsory levy payable by any of his employés under Section 38 (c) of the Act, the weekly amount of the levy will be payable as if it were part of the contribution to be paid by the employer on behalf of the employed person, and the provisions of the Act as to the recovery of contributions paid on behalf of employed persons and the regulations for the collection of contributions will apply accordingly.
