HC Deb 18 July 1950 vol 477 c146W
Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Minister of National Insurance to what extent under her regulations legal liability arises when an employer fails to ensure that the insurance card of an employee is stamped; and what is the liability of the employer and employee to the State and to one another, respectively.

But the general position is that if an employer fails to stamp an employee's card he renders himself liable to prosecution and may, in certain cases, have to pay the employee the amount of any benefit lost through failure to stamp.
