§ Mr. GLAZEBROOKasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether an employed person who is legally exempt from becoming insured under the National Insurance Act may be made to pay the premiums under promise of refund until the exemption 1863W papers are obtainable from the Post Office; and, if so, will the employer's contributions be refunded when the Post Office has provided the necessary papers?
§ Mr. MASTERMANA person who is employed within the meaning of the National Insurance Act, but is entitled to claim exemption is not in fact exempt until he has applied for, and obtained, a certificate of exemption. In the meantime contributions are properly payable; but the Commissioners are prepared, in the case of certificates issued during the current quarter, to refund the employé's share of the contribution. There can be no question with regard to the employer's contributions, which will remain payable after the certificate is granted.
