§ Mr. WATSON RUTHERFORDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received a communication from Mr. J. F. Taylor, of Queen's Drive, Mossley Hill, Liverpool; and whether his attention having now been called to a case where 1720W an employé having made an unfounded claim as to the proportions of the weekly contribution, and consequently the full contribution was not deducted from the employé's wages, he is now prepared to consider the advisability of giving the Insurance Commissioners power in such a case to waive the full payment?
§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENNMy right hon. Friend's attention has been called to this case. He is not prepared to assent to the suggestion that the employé's claim was unfounded, and, in any event, for the reasons given in the previous reply to which the hon. Member refers, it does not appear that there is any necessity for legislation in the direction suggested.
