HC Deb 24 March 1970 vol 798 c392W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he wil take steps to ensure that the appropriate stamps are applied to the insurance cards of prisoners whose conduct has been satisfactory.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Prisoners are not eligible to pay contributions under the National Insurance regulations. They may elect to pay them voluntarily as non or self-employed persons or to pay the arrears on discharge. In these circumstances the cards are stamped.
