§ Mr. Brooksasked the Minister of Social Security what steps are taken by local offices of her Department to ensure that wives are aware that their husbands' cards are not being stamped due to ignorance, indifference, sickness or unemployment.
§ Mr. PentlandNone. Nor would it be practicable to take such steps; but after the expired cards have been received in the Department steps are already taken to inform the husband of any deficiency in his contribution record. Credits would normally cover periods of non-stamping due to sickness or unemployment.
