![Ans. The seaman is not required to pay any contribu- tions while serving on the foreign ship; while so employed he would be regarded for the purposes of the Act as un- employed. To avoid falling into arrears he could pay the whole contribution himself, as other unemployed persons are entitled to do. Quest. {1) What is the position of a chauffeur who goes abroad with his master touring ? Ans. It depends upon whether such employment can be referred to as “employment in the United Kingdom.” It is clear that while in the United Kingdom he is com- pulsorily insured, it may be that the whole service is employment in the United Kingdom with an incident attached that the person may be required to go abroad ever so often. If this is so the person is compulsorily insurable, and the master could stamp his card in advance before going abroad. Quest, (c) A person is permanently employed for a society for a few hours a week at £15 a year. His main source of income is derived from doing odd jobs as a carpenter. What is his position ? Ans. As a jobbing carpenter he is not under a contract of service with anybody—he is on his own—therefore not compulsorily insurable. As to the permanent em- ployment he is within the compulsory part of the Act unless such employment comes within the employments excepted as being subsidiary employment specially ex- cepted by Orders I. and l.a of the N.H.I.C. See infra, Section V. Quest. (d) A woman takes in lodgers and waits on them herself: is she compulsorily insured ? Ans. Such a person is not under a contract of service. Consequent]v she need not be insured.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28112787_0031.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
