§ Mr. YoungerI beg to move, in page 13, line 38 to leave out from "recover," to the end of line 39, and to insert: 1864
from any parent of the child any expenses incurred by them under the said subsection (1) and not reimbursed under subsection (5) of section twenty-two of the National Insurance Act, 1946 (which enables payments to be made to local authorities out of the National Insurance Fund in respect of the cost of burial of cremation of certain persons).These words are to deal with a point which was raised by the hon. and gallant Member for Pollok (Commander Galbraith). The Clause enables the local authority to recover from the parent the expenses for a child in its care when it undertakes the burial of the child, but this Amendment provides that it should not be able to recover those expenses from the parent if it has already been reimbursed out of the National Insurance Fund.
§ Amendment agreed to.
