(This Note is not part of the Regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport.)
These Regulations contain in Part II provisions as to the payment of graduated and weekly contributions in the case of persons employed in both participating and non-participating employments and as to the calculation in such cases of the excess graduated contributions which, under the National Insurance Act, 1959, are refundable and do not count for benefit.
Part III to V contain miscellaneous amendments of various Regulations made under the National Insurance Acts, in order to adapt them to the new graduated scheme.
The report of the National Insurance Advisory Committee on the preliminary draft of these Regulations, dated the 7th July, 1960, is contained in the House of Commons Paper No. 265 (Session 1959-60) published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
