215 MAJORITY REPORT. tributor. If a woman remains at work for a full year from the date of her marriage without eight consecutive weeks’ absence, she becomes permanently exempt from transfer to the special class of insurance and on subsequently ceasing work at any time she is subject to the ordinary provisions of the Act and is entitled to a free year’s insurance from the date of ceasing employment as in the case of other insured persons. It will be observed that under this procedure the woman's transfer to the special class of insurance depends on easily ascertainable facts, and that the consideration of * intention,” so unsatisfactory in practice. is eliminated. 515. The special benefits provided under the Act for women who cease work on or about the time of marriage are as follows :— (1) Sickness or disablement benefit at the rate of 7s. 6d. a week for a maximum period of six weeks during a period of one year from the ** date of unemployment ”” (i.e., the end of the eight consecutive weeks of unemployment). (2) Medical benefit for a year from the end of the half- year in which the ** date of unemployment > falls. (3) A single ‘maternity benefit of 40s. on the first confine- ment after the ¢ date of unemployment,” provided that such confinement occurs within two years after the date of marriage. (4) Any additional benefits provided under the scheme made by the Society of which the woman is a member, so far as these are applicable to her case 516. We have received no criticism of the nature of the benefits under this special scheme of insurance, but we have had criticism on other grounds from several sources. For instance, the National Conference of Industrial Assurance Approved Societies (App. VI, 15-16; Q. 4999-5059) and the Prudential Approved Societies (App XXI, 6; Q. 9677-9683) stated that the present provisions were complicated and difficult to administer, and suggested that every insured woman who marries should be allowed to exercise an option between the two follow- ing alternatives :— (1) To receive a cash payment; in which case her insurance would terminate whether or not she remained in employment ; or (2) To be treated in the same way as any other person who ceases employment, i.e., to be given a continued title to all cash benefits for 12 months after ceasing work and to medical benefit for a further period. 517. Other witnesses, e.g., the Manchester Unity of Odd- fellows (App. VII, 63; Q. 5843-5845) and the Rational Associa- tion Friendly Society (App. IX, 24: Q. 6513-6515. 6527-6532,
