The following Sub-section shall be substituted for Sub-section (2) of Section one of the Police Reservists (Allowances) Act, 1914:—

(2) If a man dies or is disabled whilst employed on naval or military service the police authority shall have power to grant to his widow and children or to him pensions and allowances equal to one-half the amount payable out of naval or military funds in pursuance of any Royal Warrant, so however that the total amount receivable from the police authority when added to the amount payable from such funds as aforesaid shall not in any case exceed the maximum amount which could have been awarded under the Police Act, 1890, as amended by any subsequent enactment, if the injury had been received by the man in the execution of his duty as a constable without his own default and the injury had not been accidental.

Amendment made: Leave out the word "a" ["if a man dies"], and insert instead thereof the word "the."—[Mr. Ellis Griffith.]
