HC Deb 10 March 1960 vol 619 c39W
46. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is now his policy to introduce arrangements to enable a prisoner to take up employment at the end of his sentence with a stamped National Insurance card.

Mr. Vosper

A prisoner who wishes to do so may pay contributions as a non-employed person or as a self-employed person if he contributed in that class immediately before his imprisonment. It is not at present practi-able to enable all prisoners to maintain their contributions.
