HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 cc61-2W
30. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will reconsider the position of working women who wish to pay normal employees' national insurance contributions but who are only allowed to contribute as non-employed or self-employed persons even though they are not in these categories.

Mr. Dean

No, Sir. Since November, 1969, liability for payment of employed persons' contributions has been subject to a minimum earnings limit, and we see no justification for changing this.
