§ 85. Mr. Normantonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to draw the attention of students and those following courses of further education to the desirability of paying National Health Insurance contributions, and the consequences in later life of having failed to do so.
§ Mr. DeanOur National Insurance leaflets for students already make clear the need for contributions and the effect of not paying. Educational establishments for students over 18 have been asked to display a poster showing the position briefly and drawing attention to a detailed leaflet. A short version of this is issued to sudents by local authorities with the grant literature. We have other leaflets for students under 18 and school-leavers, which are issued to them by Careers Officers. My Department has also helped the National Union of Students with a booklet covering the subject.
