HC Deb 25 July 1947 vol 440 c183W
20. Mr. Orr-Ewing

asked the Minister of National Insurance if he will make a special order for the exception from compulsory insurance of part-time clerical assistants to head teachers.

Mr. Steele

No. According to the information at present before me, the part-time employment to which the hon. Member refers is undertaken in widely varying circumstances and my right hon. Friend would not be justified in excepting it from compulsory insurance as a class of employment ordinarily adopted as subsidiary and not as the principal means of livelihood.
