HC Deb 25 July 1912 vol 41 cc1364-5W
Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether blacksmiths and chainmakers doing piecework and employing strikers under them are responsible for the employers' portion of the contribution, under the National Insurance Act, payable on behalf of the strikers, or whether their employers are responsible?

Mr. MASTERMAN

If the striker works under the general control and management of the principal employer, the latter, and not the chainmaker or blacksmith, will be responsible.
