  2. (b) amending any provision of a former Pensions (Increase) Act so as to extend the benefit of it to a pension not specified therein, or to remove a condition of entitlement to that benefit;
  3. (c) corresponding to. or extending in relation to any pension increase provided by the said Act of the present Session, any of the provisions of sections 3 to 6 of the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1959, section 3 of the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1962 and sections 2 and 3 of the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1965,
and any increase attributable to any such provision as aforesaid of the said Act of the present Session in the sums payable out of moneys provided by Parliament under any other enactment.—[Mr. Ernest G. Perry.]
