§ 12. Mr. Longdenasked the Minister of Social Security whether she will devise another system for the payment of insurance stamps, in view of the fact that a fully stamped card is now worth £135 4s. 0d.
§ Mr. LoughlinOther systems are already in operation. Authorised employers may use machines to impress stamps on cards. Employers with at least 100 employees may pay by cheque, and account for their contributions. The merits and demerits of the stamped card system are being fully considered in the course of our comprehensive review of the National Insurance scheme.
