HC Deb 26 July 1922 vol 157 cc643-4

"(2) This Section shall be deemed to have had effect as from the first day of January, nineteen hundred and twenty-two."

Lords Amendment:

At end of Sub-section (2) insert the words Provided that nothing in this Section shall render invalid any scheme or regulation duly made before the passing of this Act under the said Section two of the National Health Insurance Act, 1918, and any scheme or regulation so made shall have full effect.

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Sir Alfred Mond)

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

The object of the Amendment is a drafting one to ensure certain Regulations relating to the Women's Equalisation Fund for the year 1920–21 not being invalidated.
