§ Lord C. BERESFORDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the custom of all domestics in the employ of officers of the Admiralty shore establishments to have free medical attendance at the hands of the naval medical officers attached to these establishments; and whether, seeing that Article 138 of the Home Hospital Instructions, paragraph 7, defines families as including domestic servants, he will say if these domestic servants will be exempt from the National Insurance Bill?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe servants in question will not be excluded from the provisions of the Bill. I understand from my right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty, that he has under consideration the question whether it may be necessary by revision of regulations to meet the point raised by the Question.
