HC Deb 07 July 1948 vol 453 cc39-40W
Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of National Insurance what part of the 6s. 2d. contribution paid by he self-employed man goes to the Unemployment Fund.

Mr. J. Griffiths

None. The self-employed contributor is not insured against unemployment and no part of the 6s. 2d. contribution covers that risk. The Unemployment Fund has been absorbed into the National Insurance (Reserve) Fund and all contributions under the National Insurance Act, 1946, fall to be paid into a single National Insurance Fund.
