HOMES AND REFUGES.

HC Deb 03 July 1911 vol 27 cc936-7W

Captain FABER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state whether it has been brought to his notice that under the new National Insurance Bill all homes and refuges will incur liability of about 26s. per inmate per annum, amounting at St. Thomas's Home, Basingstoke, alone to £84, and that in addition to this there are sixteen homes and refuges in the Winchester diocese only; and whether he can exempt homes and refuges from the Bill?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Baronet, the Member for Wandsworth, on 19th June.
