HC Deb 31 July 1978 vol 955 c119W
Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will estimate what proportion of married women paying national insurance contributions are expected to be paying reduced national contributions over the next few years.

Information on which to base an estimate is not available but it is expected that over the next few years there will be a significant reduction in the proportion of married women paying reduced rate national insurance contributions.
