§ 4.35 p.m.
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir Donald Somervell)I beg to move, in page 153, line 34, after "to," to insert" or in respect of."
This Amendment, which is merely of a drafting character, is followed by a second Amendment on the same point which requires some explanation and which proposes to insert the words:
Provided that account shall not be taken of any service before the date of transfer 1011 in respect of which such an allowance or gratuity payable out of moneys provided by Parliament might, if this Act had not been passed, have been awarded under the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1919.It not infrequently happens that a civil servant before going to the India Office has put in some service in another office and it would be wrong that that part of his pension which is attributable to his service in another Department should be charged to the revenues of the Federation. These Amendments together enable that point to be made clear.
§ Amendment agreed to.

§
In page 153, line 39, at the end, insert:
Provided that account shall not he taken of any service before the date of transfer in respect of which such an allowance or gratuity payable out of moneys provided by Parliament might, if this Act had not been passed, have been awarded under the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1919.
