Mr. T. WILSONasked the hon. Member for the Cathcart Division of Glasgow, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether a man who has been discharged to the Reserve for civil work and falls sick is entitled to sickness benefit under the Act; and, if not, will he state the reason?
§ Mr. PRATTA soldier who has been discharged to the Reserve for civil work is entitled to sickness benefit under the Insurance Act subject to the usual conditions, so long as he remains in the Reserve and continues to be an insured person. If, however, he is recalled to the, Army, sickness benefit ceases to be payable. If the hon. Member has a particular case in mind, I will gladly have it investigated if he will send me the facts.
