HC Deb 25 July 1946 vol 426 cc359-60

Lords Amendment: In page 59, line 46, at end, insert: (6) Section thirty-three of the Finance Act, 1921 (which exempts from Income Tax income receivable for the purposes of a supplementary scheme in connection with unemployment insurance by the body charged with the administration of the scheme) shall apply in relation to a supplementary scheme under this Section as it applies in relation to a supplementary scheme under any other enactment.

Mr. J. Griffiths

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

This Amendment is to bring the Bill into line with the National Insurance Bill.

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

CLAUSE 87.—(Interpretation.)

Lords Amendment: In page 64, line 6, at end, insert: 'earnings' where used in relation to a person includes any remuneration or profit derived from a gainful occupation.

Mr. J. Griffiths

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

This Amendment is required because a definition of "earnings" is needed in connection with Clause 18 (3).

CLAUSE 89.—(Application to Scotland.)

Lords Amendment: In page 67, line 40, at end, insert: and as if Subsection (5) thereof were omitted.

Mr. J. Griffiths

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

This Amendment is needed in order to make the Clause fit into the general framework of Scottish law.
