§ Mr. BROMFIELDasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that about 100 men are employed getting outcrop coal near Harriseahead, North Staffordshire; and what steps are taken to see whether the person, or persons, employing these men stamp their health insurance and employment cards?
§ Sir K. WOODMy right hon. Friend is aware that a number of men are getting coal as stated in the question, but according to the information in his possession they are not employed under a
1060Wcontract of service, and consequently health and unemployment insurance contributions are not required to be paid.
