HC Deb 25 July 1946 vol 426 cc347-8

Lords Amendment: In page 21, line 25, leave out from "benefit" to end of line 26,and insert "such as is mentioned in the following subsection".

Mr. J. Griffiths

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

This Amendment corrects two errors in drafting. First, it allows a juvenile who meets with a second accident to continue to receive a special hardship allowance in addition to the 100 per cent. pension, which is 33s. 9d. or 22s. 6d. as the case may be. Secondly, it makes clear that a pensioner with two pensions, if he enters hospital, will get a pension at the 100 per cent. rate but no higher.

Mr. Peake

This Amendment is clearly good, and this is a clear case of where in another place a defect has been found in the Bill as it left this House.

Question put, and agreed to.—[Special Entry.]
