Vol. 218 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Insurance Stamp Contributions.

30.

asked the Minister for Social Welfare the rates which (a) an employer and (b) an employee has had to contribute towards statutory stamps in each year since 1950.

As the reply is in tabular form I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the table:—

SOCIAL INSURANCE: WEEKLY CONTRIBUTION RATES PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF THE MAIN CLASSES OF INSURED PERSONS

From 6th October, 1952 to 2nd September, 1956
