HC Deb 18 June 1948 vol 452 c92W
Mr. Oliver

asked the Minister of National Insurance the amount of principal benefits, in English equivalents, a British worker will receive in France under the Anglo-French agreement establishing social security rights between the two countries.

Mr. Steele

Under the recent agreement on social security between the United Kingdom and France, British subjects insured under the British scheme and resident in France will qualify in France for benefits under the French scheme for sickness, invalidity, maternity, retirement, death and industrial injuries. In accordance with the provisions of the French scheme, these benefits are not at flat rates but are related to the insured person's wage at the time of his claim or to his average wage over a number of years before the claim.
