HC Deb 30 April 1974 vol 872 cc404-5W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make arrangements with the Department of Health and Social Security and the Home Office to ensure that aliens are required to produce work permits before they are issued with national insurance cards.

Mr. O'Malley

I have been asked to reply.

No. My Department is required by law to issue a national insurance card to anyone who has a statutory liability or entitlement to pay national insurance contributions.
