HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 cc149-50W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she will consider amending the Social Security Act 1973 to provide for an earnings-related percentage contribution for Class 3 non-employed contributors to replace the flat rate contribution of £1.90 per week.

Mr. Alec Jones

No. A contribution related to earnings could have no application to people without earnings.
