HC Deb 20 January 1994 vol 235 c801W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to examine the charging of national insurance contributions arising from financial and other rewards derived from playing Rugby Union football.

Mr. Hague

If it emerged that players, contrary to the rules of the Rugby Football Union, receive payments for playing, the Contributions Agency would consider whether liability to national insurance contributions arises and, if so, require payment in the normal way.
