HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 cc1781-2

Introductory

5 1. The provisions of this Part of this Schedule shall have effect in relation to an employee where his employer (in this Part of this Schedule referred to as "the deceased employer") dies.

5, to leave out from "Act" to "with" in line 6.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

I suggest that it would be convenient for the House to discuss, at the same time, Amendments No. 83 and 84.

Mr. Thornton

That is convenient. The Clause deals with the co-ordination of the Bill with any corresponding legislation which the Government of Northern Ireland introduces.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: No. 83, Clause 51, in page 40, line 7, at end insert: so as to secure that they operate, to such extent as may be provided by the arrangements, as a single system".

Amendment No. 84, Clause 51, in line 12, at end insert: (3) The Minister may make regulations for giving effect in Great Britain to any such arrangements, and any such regulations may provide that this Act shall have effect in relation to persons affected by the arrangements subject to such modifications and adaptations as may be specified in the regulations, including provision—

  1. (a) for securing that acts, omissions and events having any effect for the purposes of the Northern Irish legislation shall have a corresponding effect for the purposes of this Act (but not so as to confer a right to double payment in respect of the same act, omission or event); and
  2. (b) for determining, in cases where rights accrue both under this Act and under the Northern Irish legislation, which of those rights shall be available to the person concerned.—[Mr. Thornton.]
