§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Social Security whether, in connection with her Department's pamphlet about persons working in or about places of entertainment, which provides that part-time work in such places, including theatres, should be disregarded for National Insurance where the amount earned is not over 40s. a week, she will now increase this maximum, in view of the fact that since this pamphlet was issued payments to 227W employees in the categories covered by the special rule have increased considerably.
§ Miss HerbisonThe present limit of 40s. a week below which part-time work in this and certain other employments is disregarded for National Insurance purposes but not for Industrial Injuries Insurance, is at present being studied in my Department.
