These contributions are used solely for providing the cash benefits of the National Insurance and Industrial Injuries schemes. The schemes are also supported by payments from the Exchequer which will amount to some £220 million for National Insurance and £14 million for Industrial Injuries insurance in 1964–5; and there will be interest earnings of about £54 million on the National Insurance Fund and £15 million on the Industrial Injuries Fund.
