§ 90. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of National Insurance to give an estimate of the cost if voluntary contributors who failed to maintain a complete insurance record before 5th July, 1948, but have paid every contribution since, were to receive the same benefits as those who were not previously insured prior to the beginning of compulsory insurance in 1948; and what steps he proposes to take to remove this anomaly from the insurance scheme.
§ Mr. PeakeI regret no estimate can be made. On the second part of the Question, I cannot add to my reply to my hon. and gallant Friend's Question of 10th November.
