HC Deb 20 January 1948 vol 446 cc19-20W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of National Insurance if he will now give an estimate of the average total per week of the compulsory levy made under the National Insurance Act, 1946, on each insured person in respect of insurance, and of Health Services, and of any other costs incidental to the working of these two Acts.

Mr. J. Griffiths

It is estimated that the total yield of the contributions payable by insured persons and employers under the National Insurance Act, 1946, will be about £7,000,000 a week and that out of this amount about £700,000 will be allocated to the National Health Service.
