HC Deb 16 December 1941 vol 376 cc1834-5W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Minister of Health whether he intends to make any alteration in connection with the stamping of insurance cards for 1942?

Miss Horsbrugh

It is proposed from 5th January next to reintroduce the arrangement, discontinued at the outbreak of war, under which employers may stamp the cards of their regular employees at the end of each half year, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. These conditions include the payment in advance of a deposit in respect of the value of the contributions which it is anticipated will be payable. No other alteration of the arrangements for the stamping of cards is in contemplation.
