HC Deb 05 February 1913 vol 47 cc2209-10W
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a roadman employed by a rural district council to do guttering at so much per rood and to break stones at so much per yard is treated by the National Health Commissioners as an employed person within the meaning of the National Insurance Act?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The conditions of employment vary so widely in different districts that it is not possible to make any general statement. Where any doubt arises a case may be submitted through the local officer of Customs and Excise for the decision of the Commissioners under Section 66 of the Act.
