HC Deb 10 April 1957 vol 568 cc143-5W
Mr. Leavey

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what percentage of all who enter upon National Insurance are deemed, on an

ments of farm price guarantees and production grants made in the year 1956–57.

Mr. Godber

My right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to give details of the actual payments made under the Agricultural Price Guarantees and Production Grants in the year 1956–57. The estimated expenditure under the detailed heads for which provision was made in the Civil Estimates Class VIII, Votes 2 and 12, is as follows:

actuarial basis, to be unlikely to survive the pensionable age.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

On the mortality basis adopted for the first Quinquennial Review of the National Insurance Scheme, the proportion of men entering insurance at the minimum age of 16 who would die before age 65 would be about 25 per cent., and the corresponding proportion of women who would fail to reach age 60 would be about 10 per cent.
