§ Mr. M. MacMillanasked the Minister of National Insurance if he will now make a statement on the position of crofters and share fishermen, respectively, under the National Insurance Act.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsAs regards share fishermen, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given today to a Question by the hon. Member for Bodmin (Mr. D. Marshall) The position of crofters is also being examined, and if it appears that their circumstances call for special treatment under the National Insurance 29W Act, the matter will in due course be referred to the National Insurance Advisory Committee for consideration.
