Captain FABERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state whether, to do £100 value of work per week in a laundry, employment is found for sixty workers and employer's insurance amounts to 15s., whereas in other industries, such as motoring, twenty men would suffice; and whether, seeing that laundries would pay much larger contributions than other industries, he can reconsider their position under the National Insurance Bill?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEIt is anticipated that practically all industries will experience an almost immediate and palpable gain through the increased efficiency of labour in consequence of the National Health Insurance, and the more labour an industry employs the more it will profit.
