§ Mr. RENDALLasked the President of the Board of Trade whether an employed contributor, after payment of twenty-six weeks' contributions has got to pay his own or his employer's unemployment contributions when unemployed through illness and in receipt of sickness benefit?
Mr. BUXTONNo contributions are payable in respect of any workman under Part II. of the Act while he is not under a contract of service with an employer, and in no circumstances is a workman liable for the employer's part of the contribution.
§ Mr. RENDALLasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any of the next-of-kin of an insured workman under Part II. of the National Insurance Act will be entitled to any of the contributions paid by such workman in case of death after payment of one year's contributions?
Mr. BUXTONNo, Sir. The only provision for repayment of contributions to a workman or his personal representative under Part II. of the Act is that contained in Section 95, which applies only to workmen of sixty years and upwards who have paid contributions in respect of 500 weeks.
