I propose to take Questions Nos. 660 to 667, inclusive, together.
The tables below show the number of persons who had earnings for social insurance purposes under Class M as requested by the Deputy. Class M includes people with no contribution liability such as employees under age 16 or people aged 66 or over (including those previously liable for Class S), persons in receipt of occupational pensions (on the occupational pension income only) or people within Class K with a nil liability. The only benefits accruing to Class M contributors are Occupational Injuries Benefits, in certain cases.
