§ Colonel CHALONERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will grant a Return showing the total amounts subscribed under the National Insurance Act for the last completed year by the employers and by the employés, together with the total amount paid out in benefit?
§ Mr. W. BENNThe information asked for, so far as it is available, was given in reply to the Noble Lord the Member for South Nottingham on the 28th April. There is no means of ascertaining the division of the contributions paid between employers and employés, and the actual amount paid in benefit cannot be stated until the audited accounts of expenditure have been received from the societies and insurance committees.
