§ Mr. Banksasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the sums received from class 4 national insurance contributions for the years 1975–76, 1976–77 and 1977–78, with the estimates previously given and the estimate for the year 1978–79.
§ Mr. OrmeThe estimates of class 4 national insurance contribution receipts given in the Government Actuary's reports on contribution re-rating orders are those expected to be received in the year and not the receipts in respect of that year which will of course continue to be received in later years. Receipts are shown in the accounts on a similar basis.
