HC Deb 09 November 1964 vol 701 c23W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much was collected in 1963 by way of National Insurance health service contributions in Scotland.

Mr. MacDermot

The amount credited to the account of the Secretary of State for Scotland in respect of National Health Service contributions in the financial year 1963–64 is estimated to be slightly over £16 million. This represents 10 per cent. of the total contributions for Great Britain and is based on the distribution of the insured population.

Final figures do not become available until about nine months after the end of the financial year.
