The employer is liable to pay the full social insurance contribution but he may recover the employee's share at the time of payment of wages. The yield of an increase of sixpence in the total contribution would be about £654,000 a year. Contributions effective only for the schemes of widows' and orphans' pensions and old age pensions have been excluded from this figure.
