HC Deb 30 November 1976 vol 921 c89W
15. Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Social Services whether he will seek to amend Section 2 of the Social Security Act 1975 so that persons who are both employed and self-employed would not need to pay national insurance contributions in respect of their self-employment.

Mr. Orme

No. In an earnings-related system, where an earner has more than one employment, it is right that the contribution liability should take account of each.
