The Joint Under-Secretary of Stale for Scotland (Commander T. D. Galbraith)I beg to move, in page 8, line 36, after "funds," to insert:
or under a local Act scheme.Hon. Members who were on the Standing Committee will recollect that the object of the Clause is to encourage persons who have retired on pension to continue to work in the knowledge that if they enter the service of a local authority they will be able to reckon the service in respect of which they were pensioned in qualifying them to become superannuable in their new employment and thus earn a further pension. Subsection (1) of the Clause deals with those who are in receipt of pensions from public funds and subsection (3) with those in receipt of pensions from authorities who are administering the Act of 1937. It was the wish of the Committee also to include those who were under local Act authorities, and that is the purpose of the Amendment.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
