Old Age Pensions (Employer Contributions)

HC Deb 24 November 1953 vol 521 c28W

Mr. Alport

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will reduce the rate of employer contributions due in respect of old-age pensioner employees who work for a period of less than 10 hours per week.

Mr. Turton

No. This suggestion conflicts with the principle on which the National Insurance Scheme is based.
