§ Mr. HAYWARDasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that in some cases insured persons who are ill under circumstances entitling them to compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Acts are charged with contributions under the National Insurance Act during such illness; whether contributions are properly chargeable during such period; and, if not, whether he will take steps to prevent this being done in future?
§ Mr. MASTERMANContributions would only be payable in cases where the employé was receiving remuneration in addition to compensation. There is no evidence of any general misapprehension on this point, but if my hon. Friend will give me particulars of any cases which have come to his knowledge, I will have inquiries made.
