§ Such of the provisions of paragraph (a) of Sub-section (3) of Section fourteen of the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pensions (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1939, as relate to the payment of additional amounts in respect of pensions shall, so far as those provisions extend to matters with respect to which the Parliament of Northern Ireland has power to make laws, be treated for the purposes of Section six of the Government of Ireland Act, 1920, as an enactment passed before the appointed day.
§ 4.5 p.m.
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. Elliot)I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This is a drafting Amendment which gives the Parliament of Northern Ireland power to amend the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pensions (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1939. Otherwise, it would not have power to do so, that Act having been passed after the appointed day.
Question put, and agreed to.
