HC Deb 07 November 1911 vol 30 c1615W
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the position of a man earning 30s. a week who, when falling ill, receives half his pay, 15s., from his employer and, being insured also in a benefit society, receives a sickness benefit of 14s.?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Assuming that the 14s. benefit includes his benefit under the Insurance Bill, such a man, if he falls ill, will receive 29s. a week in all.
