HC Deb 14 August 1913 vol 56 cc2757-8

An approved society may join and remain in an association for the purposes of Section thirty-nine of the principal Act, notwithstanding that the number of its members for the purposes of Part I. thereof is less than fifty or more than five thousand, and, in calculating for the purposes of that Section the number of persons who are such members, no account shall be taken of members who by reason of marriage are suspended from receiving ordinary benefits or who are not insured persons.

Lords Amendment: After the word "benefits" ["receiving ordinary benefits"], insert the words "and are not special voluntary contributors."
