HC Deb 09 April 1935 vol 300 cc1011-2

4.37 p.m.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 154, line 23, after "to," to insert" or in respect of."

This again is purely a drafting Amendment, but it is followed by a second Amendment analogous to that which the Committee made in the previous Clause, though dealing with a different kind of case. The new Sub-section which it is proposed to insert here is to cover the case of a man who has been transferred from the India Office to another Department before the commencement of Part III of the Act. It is only right and proper that that part of his pension which is attributable to service in some other Department should not be borne by Indian revenues and this matter had not been expressly provided for in the Clause as it now appears in the Bill.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 154, line 34, at end, add: (2) The provisions of sub-section (1) of this Section shall also apply to so much of any superannuation allowances, compensation allowances, retiring allowances, additional allowances, and gratuities awarded after the commencement of Part III of this Act to persons not transferred by the last but one preceding Section as is attributable to such service before the commencement of Part III of this Act as is mentioned in the said Sub-section (1).—[The Solicitor-General.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
