 GENERAL INFORMATION. 
 INSURANCE BOOKS. 
 
 This book will contain a record of the contributions paid in respect of 
 the insured person (called the contributor), of the arrears due from and 
 paid by liim, and of the benefits -which he has received under the Act. 
 Great care should therefore be taken to guard against its loss. 
 
 The book must be deposited by the contributor with his Society: — 
 (a) upon surrendering his contribution card, 
 (6) when he gives notice of disease or disablement, and 
 (c) whenever the Society requires it for production to an Inspector or 
 other authorised person. 
 It will be returned within 21 days after deposit, or at the end of the 
 disease or disablement. 
 
 The book must also be produced when the contributor makes a claim 
 for maternity benefit. 
 
 The contributor should satisfy himself that the necessary entries have 
 t)een correctly made in the book. 
 
 If the contributor is a workman in an insured trade the book must be 
 produced when a claim for unemployment benefit is made or when he desires 
 to obtain payment in respect of unemployment from an association. If 
 the book is then in the hands of his Society it will be returned within 
 7 days after application for it. 
 
 The contributor on changing his address should alter the address on 
 page 1 of this book and inform his Society within 7 days. 
 
 Upon the contributor ceasing to be a member of the Society, or trans- 
 ferring to another branch of the Society, the book must be surrendered.
 
 196 NATIONAL INSURANCE. 
 
 The contributor should obtain from his Society a copy of the rules of the 
 Society, in which will be found particulars of the conditions of membership, 
 and of the benefits. 
 
 Xo person may assign or charge, or agree to assign or charge any 
 Insurance Book, and any sale, transfer, assignation of or charge on any 
 Insurance Book is void and of no effect. 
 
 The employer cannot demand the pi-oduction of this Book. 
 
 CONTIUBUTION CARDS. 
 
 The contribution* are collected by means of National Health Insurance 
 Stamps affixed to contribution cards. 
 
 The contributor must produce his card to his employer at any time 
 when required, and must deliver it up to his employer whenever the 
 employer requii-es it for the purpose of stamping, or of production to an 
 Inspector or other authorised person. 
 
 A weekly contribution is payable by the employer for each week (com- 
 mencing Monday) during the whole or any part of which the contributor 
 has been employed, but only one contribution is payable for each week, 
 and no contribution is payable bj' the employer in respect of any week 
 during which the contributor renders no service, and either (a) receives no 
 remuneration, or (b) receives sickness benefit for the whole or part of the 
 week. 
 
 The employer is required to affix to the card on a day not later than the 
 day on which wages are paid a single National Health Insurance Stamp 
 of the value of the joint contribution due from himself and from the 
 contributor for every week for which a contribution is payable. (The 
 Insurance Commissioners may allow exceptional arrangements to be made 
 for stamping cards in special cases.) 
 
 All contributions payable at the date of the expiration of the card must 
 be paid and stamps affixed by that date whether the wages have been paid 
 or not. Upon the termination of an employment, or at any time after 
 24 hours' notice by the contributor, a stamp must be affixed in respect of 
 every week for which a contribution is payable by the employer. 
 
 When the contributor receives no wages or other money payments from 
 his employer, the latter must affix a stamp on the first day of employment 
 in each week. 
 
 The card when stamped will be returned to the contributor, but if he is 
 in continuous employment the card may, with the consent of the contri- 
 butor, be retained by the employer, wlao will be responsible for its safe 
 custody. 
 
 It must be returned to the contributor, subject to 48 hours' notice, on

 issued, and on his leaving his employment. 
 
 If the card should be lost or destroyed the contributor should imme- 
 diatelv apply to his Society for the issue to him of a new card. 
 
 If at any time the contributor, while not in possession of a card, requires 
 one for immodiato delivery to his cmployor, ho may obtain one at any 
 Post Office on making an apjjlication on a foi-ni to ])e obtained there, and 
 on production of this book. 
 
 If the contributor without reasonable cause fails to ])roduco his card to

 The contributor must, within 14 days aft<>r the expirniion of the card,

 Collerlion of Contributions (Scotland) Regs. 197 
 
 A contributor must deliver up his card to his Society before it expires 
 and obtain a new one if — 
 
 (1) it has been defaced ; 
 
 (2) he ceases to l)e a member of the Society ; 
 
 (3) he transfers to another Society or branch ; 
 
 (4) he clianges liis place of residence to Wales, Englanrl, or Ireland; 
 
 (5) he b:comes a voluntary contributor. 
 
 A contributor may, if he chooses, on changing his employment, deliver 
 up his contribution card and ol)tain a new card from his Society. 
 
 Upon making any claim for benefit the contributor must, if required, 
 produce his card to his Society. • 
 
 Any person having in his possession the card or book of an insured person 
 must produce it at any reasonable time when required by an Inspector or 
 other officer appointed under the Act, or duly aiithorised to act in the 
 execution of the Act. 
 
 In the event of the death of the contributor this book, together with the 
 contribution card and any emergency cards issued in respect of him, must 
 be returned to the Society. 
 
 RATES OF CONTRIBUTION. 
 
 The joint contribution payable by the contributor and his employer is 
 in ordinary cases in Great Britain 7d. a week. In the event of the contri- 
 butor being employed in Ireland, contributions in respect of him are 
 payable at the Irish rate. 
 
 Where the rate of the remuneration earned by a contril)utor who is 21 
 or upwards is less than 2s. a working day and the remuneration does not 
 include board and lodging, the joint contrilmtion is 6d. a week, and Id. a 
 week is added by the State. 
 
 Remuneration includes everything to which the contributor is entitled 
 in return for his services ; thus the remuneration of a domestic servant 
 includes in most cases board and lodging in addition to money wages. In 
 certain circumstances it is necessary to fix the monej- value of the 
 remuneration where it includes or consists of other things than money 
 payments before the rate of contribution can be determined. 
 
 When the contributor receives wages or other money payments from 
 fiis employer, the employer can only recover the contributor's contribution 
 by deducting a corresponding amount from his wages, and he can only 
 deduct from wages the contributions due for the period for which the wages 
 are paid. 
 
 When the contributor receives wages or other money payments but from 
 some person other than his employer, the employer can recover the contri- 
 butor's contribiitions by process of law, if the contributor refuses to repay 
 such contributions. 
 
 Notwithstanding any contract to the contrary, the employer is not 
 entitled to deduct from the wages of or otherwise to recover from the 
 contributor the employer's contributions. 
 
 Contributions cease to be payable in respect of the contributor when he 
 reaches the age of 70. 
 
 The table on page 1 of this book shows the various rates of contribu- 
 tion, and how the joint weekly contribution in each case is divided between 
 the contributor and his employer where the contributor receives wages or 
 other money payments. 
 
 Wlien the contributor receives no wages or other money payments either 
 from his employer or from any other person, the whole of the contribution 
 is payable by the employer, and he is not entitled to recover any part of it 
 from the contributor. 
 
 A contributor who is out of employment, or whose employer is not liable 
 to pay the contribution in any week may. if he chooses, himself pay the 
 contributions by affixing the proper stamps to his card as the contribu- 
 tions become due. 
 
 Any person who affixes a stamp to a card is required immediately after 
 nffixiiie it to cancel the stnni]i by writing the date in ink across the face of 
 the stamp.

 ARREAR S— ( EMPLOYED CONTRIBUTORS ONLY). 
 
 The coutributor may, if he so desires, pay arrears of contributions, 
 obtaining for the purpose an Arrears Card from his Society. After a 
 stamp has been affixed to an Arrears Card it must be cancelled imme- 
 diate'y and the card forwarded to his Society. The date of the receipt 
 of the card by the Society will be treated as the date of payment of the 
 arrears. Upon the production of this book to the Society, the date and 
 amount of the payment will be entered. 
 
 An approved Society is empowered by the Act to excuse part of the 
 arrears of a contributor (not exceeding the part which would have been 
 payable by his employer if he had continued in his last employment), but 
 the exercise of this power can affect the rate of benefit only, and arrears 
 which accrue during the first year are disregarded in determining the 
 effect of arrears on the rate of benefit. For the purpose of establishing 
 title to benefits, excused arrears cannot be regarded as contributions paid. 
 For that purpose actual payment at the full rate must be made of the 
 required number of weekly contributions, namely. 26 for sickness and 
 maternity benefits and 104 for disablement benefit. {Sec Note on p. 3.) 
 
 Notwithstanding that a Society may have excused part of the arrears, 
 the contributor is still entitled to pay the full amount of the arrears, 
 including the excused part, in order to establish his title to benefits at the 
 earliest possible date. 
 
 OFFENCES. 
 
 Any person who fraudulently removes a stamp from a card or makes use 
 of a stamp removed from a card is guilty of felony. 
 
 If the contributor for the purpose of obtaining any benefit knowingly 
 makes any false statement, he is liable on summary conviction to imprison- 
 ment for a term not exceeding three months with or without hard labour. 
 
 If the contributor is guilty of any other contravention of, or non-com- 
 pliance with, any of the requirements of the health provisions of the 
 National Insurance Act, 1911, or the Regulations made thereunder, he is 
 for each offence liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding Ten 
 Pounds. 
 
 If it is found at any time that a person has received any benefit to 
 which he was not lawfully entitled, he or, in the case of his death, his 
 personal representatives, will be liable to repay to the Insurance Com- 
 missioners the value of such benefits. 
 
 If any employer has failed to pay any contributions which he is lial)Ie to 
 pay in respect of an employed contributor, he is for each offence liable on 
 summary conviction to a fine not exceeding Tkn Poinds, and to pay a 
 sum eq\ial to the amount of the contributions which he has failed to pay. 
 Further, the contributor may take proceedings against his employer, in 
 which case the employer may be com|)elled to make good any loss of 
 benefits which the contributor has suffered.

 made by the Committee, on the ground that the income of that 
 person exceeds the income limit and that he is not entitled to be 
 exempted.

 appears to them that the income of that person exceeds the 
 income limit, and that he is not entitled to be exempted, give

 has given notice under this Regulation. 
 
 (2.) A notice under this Regulation must be given not less 
 than fourteen days before the commencement of a period of cur- 
 rency and shall take effect as from the first day of the period of 
 currency next following the date of the notice : 
 
 Provided that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing pro- 
 vision, a notice given at any time before the 31st day of December, 
 1912, shall take effect on such date after it is given as the Com- 
 missioners may in each case determine.

 such other day as the Commissioners may direct, cease to apply 
 to outworkers employed by that employer. 
 
 (5.) An outworker on becoming employed by an employer who 
 has not given notice under this Regulation shall forthwith give 
 notice in writing that he has become so employed to such of his 
 employers as have given notice under this Regulation, and shall, 
 on demand, produce to those employers his contribution card 
 issued under the National Health Insurance (Collection of Contri- 
 butions) Regulations (Scotland), 1912, immediately after that card 
 has been stamped for the first time by the employer who has not 
 so given notice. 
 
 4. — (1.) The employer of an outworker shall pay contributions 
 under the Act in respect of all work given out by him to that 
 outworker by reference to the work actually done by that out- 
 worker instead of by reference to the weeks in which the work 
 is done : 
 
 Provided that where a contribution has been paid in any week 
 in respect of work done by an outworker, any further work 
 done by that outworker for which payment is made by the 
 same employer during that or the succeeding week may 
 be treated as having been part of the work in respect of which 
 the contribution was paid, and no further contribution shall be 
 payable in respect of that further work unless and until the 
 aggregate amount of the work done is such as to require a con- 
 tribution greater than that already paid. 
 
 (2.) Every contribution payable in respect of an outworker 
 shall be paid by affixing to his card a stamp or stamps in the 
 space provided for that purpose upon the card, and the stamp or 
 stamps must be so affixed before payment is made by the employer 
 to the outworker for the work in respect of which that contribution 
 is payable. 
 
 5. — (1.) In the case of an outworker a full contribution shall be 
 paid in respect of such amount of work, hereinafter called a unit 
 of work, as the Commissioners may determine, having regard to 
 the average amount of a full week's work done by outworkers in 
 the employment in which that outworker is engaged to be the 
 proper unit of work for outworkers in that employment : 
 
 Provided that where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Com- 
 missioners that in any particular employment the persons 
 employed habitually work short time during any part of the year, 
 the expression " a full week's work " shall be deemed to be the 
 amount of work done by a person in regular work in an average 
 week in that employment. 
 
 (2.) One-half of a full contribution shall be payable in respect 
 of each half or any less part of a unit of work. 
 
 (3.) The amount of a full contribution payable by an employer 
 in respect of an outworker of any class specified in the First 
 Column of the Third Schedule to these Regulations, shall be the 
 amount specified in the Second Column of that Schedule, and the 
 employer may lawfully deduct from payment made to that out- 
 worker for work in respect of which the whole or a half of a 
 
 ^789 X 2
 
 344 NATIONAL IXSUEAXCE. 
 
 full contribution lias been paid, tlie wbole or the half, as the 
 case may be, of such part of the full contribution as is specified 
 in the Fourth Column of that Schedule as respects the class to 
 which that outworker belongs. 
 
 (4.) In the trades set out in the First Column of the Fourth 
 Schedule to these Regulations, the unit of work shall be work in 
 respect of which a payment of the amount set out in the corre- 
 sponding entry in the Second Column of that Schedule is made to 
 an outworker allowing as a deduction from that payment any 
 expenses reasonably incurred by the outworker in connection with 
 the work : 
 
 Provided that if any outworker, or any employer of an out- 
 worker, gives notice to the Commissioners in the form set out in 
 the Second Schedule to these Regulations that he claims that the 
 unit of work as respects any of the said trades should be work 
 in respect of which a payment of some amount other than that 
 specified in the said Fourth Schedule is made the Commissioners 
 may determine such units of work as they think fit to be units of 
 work as respects all outworkers in that trade or, where the appli- 
 cation is made by an employer, as respects outworkers in the 
 employment of that employer, and the units of work so deter- 
 mined shall be the units of work for the purpose of these 
 Regulations. 
 
 Every notice given under the foregoing proviso shall contain 
 full particulars of the average amount and nature of the work 
 given out or to be given out to the outworker, and of the rate of 
 payment in respect thereof, and of the amount which the applicant 
 desires to be deemed a unit of work. 
 
 6. — (1.) If in any year the total amount of contributions 
 paid by or in respect of an outworker, whether paid under 
 these Regulations or otherwise, is equal to or more than the 
 amount which would have been payable in weekly contributions 
 in respect of him in that year if he had been an employed contri- 
 butor to whom these Regulations do not apply, the outworker 
 shall be entitled to a certificate from his approved society or, in 
 the case of a deposit contributor, from the Insurance Committee 
 for the area in which he resides, that all contributions payable in 
 respect of him for that year have been paid. 
 
 (2.) Notwithstanding anything in these or any other Regula- 
 tions made under the Act, any person who employs an outworker 
 shall not be required, if the outworker produces to him a certifi- 
 cate of full payment granted under this Reguhition, to pay any 
 contribution in respect of tliai ouiworlccr during tlic itMiiaiiider 
 of the year in respect of which that certificate was issued. 
 
 7. For the purpose of calculating the number of contributions 
 paid by or in respect of any outworker and for tlio purpose of 
 reckoning his arrears the amount of all conlributions ])aid by or 
 in respect of Ihat outworker sliall l)e rcckonrd as lliough the 
 total sum thereof consistf'd of weekly con iribul ions i)aid liy or in 
 respec;! of him at the rate which Mould have been a])j)licable to 
 him had he been an employed contributor to whom these Regula- 
 tions do not apply.

 sufficient compliance with this Regulation. 
 
 9. — (1.) All cards for the purposes of these Regulations shall be 
 supplied by the Commissioners without charge to all employers of 
 outworkers, and shall be in the forms set out in the Fifth Schedule 
 to these Regulations or in such forms substantially to the like effect 
 as may from time to time be approved by the Commissioners. 
 
 (2.) Every employer of an outworker shall, at the commence- 
 ment of every period of currency, or so soon thereafter as a 
 contribution in respect of that outworker becomes payable by 
 him, issue to that outworker a card current for the period, and 
 inscribed with the name and address of the outworker and of the 
 employer by whom the card is issued. 
 
 (3.) If at any time and so often as during the period of 
 currency of a card so issued by an employer to an outworker a 
 further contribution becomes payable under these Regulations by 
 that employer in respect of that outworker, the outworker shall 
 deliver the card so issued to the employer for the purpose of 
 stamping, and the employer shall return the card duly stamped 
 to the outworker when payment is made for the work in respect of 
 which the contribution is payable. 
 
 (4.) If an outworker fails to produce and deliver a card in

 tions, the employer shall inscribe the name and address of the 
 outworker on a new card for the current period, and shall issue

 INSTRUCTIONS. 
 (1.) SUPPLY OF STAMPS. 
 
 National Health lusurance Stamps are on sale at all Post Offices. Stamps 
 other than National Health Insurance Stamps found affixed to this 
 Card will not be accepted in payment of Contributions. 
 
 (2.) ISSUE AND DELIVERY OF CARD AND TIME OF AFFIXING 
 STAMPS. 
 
 This card can be obtained only from the Employer and can only be used for 
 the payment of contributions in respect of work paid for Ijy the Employer by 
 ■whom the Card is issued. It must be produced to that Employer at any time 
 on demand, and must be delivered to him whenever he requires it for the 
 purpose of paying contributions. 
 
 An Outworker, who takes work from more than one Employer who has 
 adopted the scheme, must have a separate Card from each Emploj^er. 
 
 If the holder of this Card is employed in any way except on outwork given 
 out to him by Employers who have adopted the scheme he is liable to be insured 
 as an ordinary Employed Contributor and must obtain an ordinary Employed 
 Contributor's Card for that purpose. 
 
 Before payment is made for work done, the Employer must affix to the Card 
 a Stamp or Stamps representing the joint contribution of himself and the 
 Contributor for that work, and return the Card to the Contributor unless the 
 Employer and Contributor agree that the Card shall be kept by the Employer 
 during its currency. The Stamps must be affixed in the first vacant spaces. 
 
 When a Stamp has been affixed in respect of a smaller quantity- of work than 
 that covered by the amount of the Stamp no further Stamp need be affixed during 
 that and the next succeeding week (even though further work is paid for) until the 
 total work paid for requires a further Stamp, but if a whole calendar week has 
 elapsed without a Stamp having been affixed the Employer must affix a Stamp 
 on the Card for the next parcel of work paid for without regard to previous 
 paj-ments. Contributions in respect of an Outworker made on this Card by the 
 Employer through whom it is issued must be reckoned without reference to the 
 Contributions (if any) made by any other Employer. 
 
 (3.) RATE OF CONTRIBUTION. 
 
 Contributions are payable by reference to " units " of work done. 
 
 The '■ unit of work" is work to the value of 15s., unless some other amount 
 has been fixed by the Commissioners in particular cases or for particular trades, 
 such as the trades under the Trade Boards Act. For further particulars .see 
 Pamphlet B. 
 
 The full contribution in respect of a " unit of work "' is ^d. 
 
 One-half of this, i.e., 82^., is payable in respect of each half, or part 
 thereof, of a " unit of work." 
 
 In cases in which the amount the outworker can earn in a normal workint^ 
 week of six days exceeds 12s. but does not exceed 15s. (that is, where his rate 
 of remuneration exceeds 2s. but does not exceed 2s. &d. a day) the Z^d. will be 
 divided as follows if the Outworker is 21 years of age or over : — 
 
 Payable by the Employer ... ... ^d. 
 
 Payable on behalf of and recoverable from the Contributor... \^d. 
 But in other cases the 3if?. may be otherwise divided (see Pamphlet B.). 
 
 (4.) CONTRIBUTOR IN CERTAIN CASES TO OBTAIN CERTIFI- 
 CATE. 
 
 When in respect of any Outworker to whom the special Regulations appiv 
 total contributions equal to fifty-two complete weekly contributions have been 
 paid in any year, he will be able to obtain a certificate, and on the production of 
 the certificate to subsequent Emploj-ers no further contributions will be payable 
 in respect of him in that year. 
 
 (b.^ EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION NOT RECOVERABLE. 
 
 Notwithstanding any contract to the contrary, the Employer is not entitled 
 to deduct from the wages of or otherwise to recover from the Contributor the 
 Employer's Contribution.
 
 352 NATIONAL INSURANCE. 
 
 (6) DEFACING CARD. 
 
 Except as herein provided, no mark of any kind maj' be made on this Card, 
 nor may anything be affixed to it by the Employer or Contributor, or any other 
 person. 
 
 (7.) ASSIGNATION OR TRANSFER. 
 
 No person may assign or charge, or agree to assign or charge any Card, and 
 any sale, transfer or assignation of, or charge on any Card is void and of no 
 effect. 
 
 (8.) CHANGE OF ADDRESS. 
 
 A contributor changing his address during the currency of this Card should 
 alter the address on page 2, and inform his Society within seven days. 
 
 (9.) DEATH OF CONTRIBUTOR. 
 
 In the event of the death of the Contributor, this card must be returned to 
 his Society or to the Scottish Insurance Commissioners, Edinburgh. 
 
 If any Employer has failed to pay any Contributions which hs is 
 liable to pay in respect of an Employed Contributor he is for each 
 Offence liable on Summary Conviction to a fine not exceeding; TEN 
 POUNDS, and to pay a sum equal to the amount of the Contributions 
 which he has failed to pay. 
 
 Further, if the Contributor is a member of an Approved Society, he 
 may take proceedings against his Employer, in which case the Em- 
 ployer may be compelled to make good any loss of Benefits which the 
 Contributor has suffered. 
 
 If any Insured Person without reasonable cause fails to deliver a 
 Contribution Card to his Employer at the times required by the 
 Regulations, or is guilty of any other contravention of or non- 
 compliance with any of the Regulations made under Part I of the 
 National Insurance Act, 1911, he is for each Offence liable on Summary 
 Conviction to a fine not exceeding TEN FOUNDS.

 INSTRUCTIONS. 
 
 1. SUPPLY OF STAMPS. 
 
 National Health Insurance Stamps are on sale at all Post Offices. 
 
 2. ISSUE, DELIVERY, AND STAMPING OF CARD. 
 
 This Card can be obtained only from the Employer and can only be used for 
 the payment of contributions in respect of work paid for by the Employer by 
 whom the Card is issued. It must be produced to that Employer at any time 
 on demand and must be delivered to him whenever he requires it for the 
 purpose of paying contributions. 
 
 An Outworker, who takes work from more than one Employer who has 
 adopted the scheme, must have a separate Card from each Employer. 
 
 If the holder of this Card is employed in any way except on outwork given 
 out to her by Employers who have adopted the scheme she is liable to be 
 insured as an ordinary Employed Contributor and must obtain an ordinary 
 Employed Contributor's Card for that purpose. 
 
 Before payment is made for work done, the Employer must affix to the Card 
 a Stamp or Stamps representing the joint contribution of himself and the 
 Contributor for that work, and return the Card to the Contributor, unless the 
 Employer and Contributor agree that the Card shall be kept by the Employer 
 during its currency. The Stamps must be affixed in the first vacant spaces. 
 When a stamp has been affixed in respect of a smaller quantity of work than 
 that covered by the amount of the Stamp no further Stamp need be affixed 
 during that and the next succeeding week (even though further work is paid for) 
 until the total work paid for requires a further Stamp, but if a whole calendar 
 week has elapsed without a Stamp having been affixed, the Employer must affix 
 a Stamp on the Card for the next parcel of work paid for without regard to 
 previous payments. Contributions in respect of an Outworker made on this 
 Card by the Employer through whom it is issued must be reckoned without 
 reference to the contributions (if any) made by any other Employer. 
 
 3. RATE OF CONTRIBUTION. 
 
 Contributions are payable by reference to " units " of work done. 
 
 The " unit of work " is work to the value of 8s. 9d., unless some other amounc 
 has been fixed by the Commissioners in particular cases or for particular trades, 
 such as the trades under the Trade Boards Act. For further particulars see 
 Pamphlet B. 
 
 The joint contribution of Employer and Outworker for each " unit of work " 
 is 6d. or 5d., according to the age and rate of remuneration of the worker. See 
 Table below. 
 
 One half of this, i.e., 3d (or 2hd.) is payable in respect of each half, or part 
 thereof, of a " unit of work." 
 
 The division of the half -contribution between Employer and Worker is as 
 
 follows : — 
 
 
 For workers 21 years of age and over.

 of the certificate to subsequent Employers no further contributions will be

 person.

 liable to pay in respect of an Employed Contributor he is for each 
 OflFence liable on Summary Conviction to a fine not exceeding" 
 TEN POUNDS, and to pay a sum equal to the amount of the 
 Contributions which he has failed to pay. 
 
 Further, if the Contributor is a Member of an Approved Society, 
 she may take proceedings against her Employer, in which case the 
 Employer may be compelled to make good any loss of Benefits which 
 the Contributor has suffered. 
 
 If any Insured Person without reasonable cause fails to deliver a 
 Contribution Card to her Employer at the times required by the 
 Regulations or is guilty of any other contravention of or non-

 Table prepared by the National Health Insurance 
 Joint Committee, dated May 24, 1912, under section 
 55 (1) OP THE National Insurance Act, 1911 (1 & 2 
 Geo. 5. c. oo) of Reserve Values for Female

 1912. No. 512. 
 
 Whereas, by section 55 of the National Insurance Act, 1911, 
 the Insurance Commissioners are required and empowered to cause 
 tables to be prepared showing, in cases in which such provision 
 is necessary, the capital sums (in that Act and herein referred 
 to as " Reserve Values ") which it is necessary to provide in 
 respect of members entering into insurance at ages over the 
 age of 16 to meet the estimated loss, if any, arising through the 
 acceptance by an Approved Society of such persons as members 
 upon the terms and conditions as regards contributions and 
 benefits prescribed by that Act; and whereas by section 83 of 
 that Act it is provided that the Joint Committee constituted there- 
 under shall exercise and perform such powers and duties of the 
 several bodies of Commissioners under that Act as may be pro- 
 vided by regulations to be made by the Treasury ; and whereas 
 by the regulations made by the Treasury thereunder* it is pro- 
 vided that the Joint Committee alone shall exercise the power 
 
 * Printed at p. 21 above.

 ^-ATIOX.\I. IXSURAIsCE. 
 
 of making under subsection 1 of section 55 of the Act tables 
 showing reserve values ; Now, therefore, the Joint Committee in 
 pursuance of the powers above recited and of all other powers 
 enabling them in that behalf have caused to be prepared the 
 tables hereto appended, showing in cases in which such pro- 
 vision is necessary the reserve values which it is necessary to 
 provide in Great Britain or in Ireland in respect of female 
 employed contributors entering into insurance, within one year 
 after the commencement of the Act, at the ages shown in the first 
 column of that table, and in respect of female voluntary contri- 
 butors entering into insurance, within six months after the 
 commencement of the Act, at the ages less than the age of forty- 
 five shown in the first column of that table, and that table shall 
 have effect accordingly.

 expiration of one year from the commencement of the 
 Act. 
 
 1912. No. 609. 
 
 Whereas by subsection 4 of section 9 of the National Insurance 
 Act, 1911, the Insurance Commissioners are empowered to prepare 
 tables showing the reduced rates of sickness benefit to which an 
 insured person shall be entitled in case such insured person is a 
 person who not having been previously insured under Part I. of 
 that Act, becomes an insured contributor subsequently to the 
 expiration of one year from the commencement of that Act, and 
 is, at the time of so becoming an employed contributor, of the 
 age of 17 or upwards unless he satisfies the conditions set out in 
 that subsection ; and whereas, by section 55 of that Act, 
 the Insurance Commissioners are required and empowered 
 to cause tables to be prepared showing, in cases in which such 
 provision is necessary, the capital sums (in that Act and herein 
 referred to as " Reserve Values ") which it is necessary to provide 
 in respect of members entering into insurance at ages over the 
 age of 16 to meet the estimated loss, if any, arising through the 
 acceptance by an Approved Society of such persons as members 
 upon the terms and conditions as regards contributions and 
 benefits prescribed by or under that Act; and whereas by section 
 83 of that Act it is provided that the Joint Committee constituted 
 thereunder shall exercise and perform such powers and duties of 
 the several bodies of Commissioners under that Act as may be 
 provided by regulations to be made by the Treasury ; and whereas 
 by the regulations made by the Treasury thereunder*' it is pro- 
 vided that the Joint Committee alone shall exercise the power 
 of making under subsection 4 of section 9 of that Act tables in 
 accordance with which the reduced rate payable in the case of the 
 persons referred to in that subsection is to be fixed and the power of 
 making under subsection 1 of section 55 of that Act tables showing 
 reserve values; Now, therefore, the Joint Committee in pursuance 
 of the powers above recited and of all other powers enabling 
 them in that behalf have caused to be prepared the tables hereto 
 appended, showing the reduced rates of sickness benefit to which 
 male insured persons are entitled who not having been previously 
 insured become insured persons subsequently to the expiration of 
 one year from the commencement of the Act, at the ages shown 
 in the first column of that table, and who do not prove that their 
 time since they attained the age of 17 has been spent in a school

 or college, in indentured apprenticeship or otherwise under 
 instruction without wages or otherwise in the completion of their 
 education or who do not undertake themselves to pay the 
 difference between the voluntary rate and the employed rate, or 
 who do not pay to the Insurance Commissioners such capital sum 
 as is sufficient to secure them benefits at the full rate and showing 
 in cases in which such provision is necessary the reserve values 
 which it is necessary to provide in Great Britain or in Ireland 
 in respect of male employed contributors entering into insurance, 
 subsequently to the expiration of one year after the commence- 
 ment of the Act, at the ages shown in the first column of that 
 table.
