YOUNG HELPERS TO WORKMEN.

HC Deb 03 July 1911 vol 27 c937W

Mr. POINTER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer who is to be considered the employer, for the purposes of the National Insurance Bill, when workmen engage young persons as helpers, as is common in some textile trades?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

In such a case, by paragraph 5 of the Third Schedule, the workman's employer could be treated, under appropriate regulations, as the employer of the helper.
