HC Deb 25 June 1982 vol 26 c535

Lords amendment: No. 8, in page 24, line 42, leave out from "section" to end of line 43.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this, we shall discuss Lords amendment No. 9.

Mr. Rossi

These amendments have been introduced as a result of a desire by war pension groups to have some indication in the Act that local authorities should take into account their power to disregard war pensions. Apart from a statutory disregard of £4, the remainder is at the discretion of local authorities and the amendment underlines that fact.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendment No. 9 agreed to.
