Mr. T. WILSONasked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether workmen who are paying 4d. per week under the provisions of the National Health Insurance Acts, but whose incomes exceed £160 a year, are entitled to the full benefits provided by the Acts; and, if not, what benefits they are entitled to?
§ Sir E. CORNWALLThe right to benefits of any man whose insurance is properly continued and his contributions paid under the National Health Insurance Act is not affected by the amount of his income. I may add that the exception from insurance in cases where the remuneration exceeds £160 a year does not hold where the employment is by way of manual labour.
