HC Deb 03 March 1921 vol 138 cc2092-3

(1) Paragraph 2 of the Second Schedule to the principal Act (which provides that no person shall receive unemployment benefit for a period of more than fifteen weeks or such other period as may be prescribed) shall have effect as though twenty-six weeks were therein substituted for fifteen weeks.

Lords Amendment:

In Sub-section (1) after the word "shall" ["no person shall"] insert "within any insurance year."

Agreed to.

Lords Amendment: After the word "shall" ["prescribed) shall"] insert "not operate during the special periods, and shall thereafter."

Dr. MACNMARA

I beg to move "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER

This is an Amendment which may possibly vary the benefits. Therefore I ought to draw attention to it as a privilege Amendment.

Dr. MACNAMARA

I explained the effect of the Amendment earlier.

Question put, and agreed to.
