jd MAJORITY REPORT. the ages of 16 and 70 who are employed under a contract of service or apprenticeship. Part IT of the same Schedule sets out the classes of employment which are excepted from insurance, of which the chief are :— (1) Employment under the Crown or any Local Authority, or as a salaried official of a railway or otner statutory com- pany, provided in each case that the terms of service make provision during sickness at least as favourable as that made under the Act; and (2) Employment of a non-manual character at a rate of remuneration exceeding £250 a vear. 453. We were informed in evidence given on behalf of the Ministry of Health that there has been no serious demand for any extension of the classes who are required to be insured (Kinnear, Q. 28). "We received, however, from other witnesses suggestions for the inclusion of boys and girls in em- ployment below the present age limit of 16, and of those persons remaining in employment beyond the present higher age limit for insurance; and further, for the extension of the income limit for the insurance of non-manual workers from the present figure of £250 to £350 a year. The British Medical Association, on the other hand, put before us suggestions for a lower income limit, e.g., £150 a year, to be applicable to manual as well as non-manual workers as part of a larger proposal for the exclusion from medical benefit of persons who (in the view of the Association) might reasonably be expected to make provision for themselves, and the inclusion of persons (particularly the dependants of insured persons) for whom medical treatment might properly be provided through a State scheme of insurance. On the general aspects of this proposal we have already commented in previous Chapters. 454. From the inception of the Scheme of National Health Insurance the age limits for the payment of contributions and title to sickness and disablement benefits have been 16 and 70. We have had little evidence in support of any change of these limits. The Scottish Miners’ Federation suggested that logically boys and girls ought to come under the Health Insur- ance Scheme as soon as they begin to be employed, which is in many cases before they attain the age of 16 (Q. 6948-6949). The Tancashire and Cheshire Miners’ Permanent Approved Society also were of opinion that it was desirable that insurance should begin with the commencement of employment, and gave as their chief argument in support of this view the undesirability of there being any gap in the provision for medical supervision of the health of boys and girls between the cessation of the pro- vision made under the School Medical Service and the beginning of that under the National Health Insurance Scheme when they reach the age of 16.
