asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why self-employed British travellers in the EEC countries will not enjoy the benefits of EEC social security regulations; and if he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

The EEC social security regulations apply only to persons working for an employer and to their families.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether self-employed and unemployed persons will be entitled to a rebate of the cost of medical treatment, should they fall ill within the EEC countries, on their return to the United Kingdom.

Sir K. Joseph

No.
