§ Mr. Andersonasked the Minister of Social Security what arrangements exist for informing 18-year-old students in full-time education of their obligations under the Social Security Acts; whether she is satisfied that these arrangements are adequate in conveying this information to such students in secondary schools; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mrs. HartSchools, colleges and other establishments providing full-time education to students over age 18 are asked to display a poster which sets out briefly the position of students in National Insurance, and refers to leaflet N.I. 30 which228W gives more detailed information. This leaflet is distributed with the display poster and further copies are available from local offices of my Department or of the Ministry of Labour. An abbreviated version is issued by local authorities with the grant literature sent to students.
My Department has also assisted the National Union of Students in the preparation of a booklet entitled "Social Security for Students".
I believe that these arrangements are satisfactory, and I have no further statement to make; but if my hon. Friend can suggest any further action which might be taken, I will gladly consider it.
