National Insurance Explained in House Debate
In reply to critics of the National Insurance Bill Prime Minister Lyons argued the Opposition favored a dependence on the National Treasury and condemned future benefits being paid. He stressed the scheme rests on a sound actuarial basis and warned against costly amendments. The bill covers employed persons with future self employment measures and aims to distribute over £3 million yearly in sickness benefits. Pension and health provisions would grow significantly, with women gaining improved options and compulsory-insured spouses retaining benefits. The plan uses approved friendly societies to administer sickness benefits ensuring funds meet obligations while preserving personal choice of doctors and societies. The total fund would generate about £10 million annually, avoiding unsustainable Commonwealth liabilities. The bill aligns with International Labour Office principles and seeks ratification of few coventions.
