Mr. Newton

I beg to move amendment No. 91, in page 65, line 37, at end insert— '(ff) specified in regulations under section 45(3) above;'. The amendment is necessary to bring statutory maternity pay within the uprating provisions contained in clause 60. It is intended that the flat rate element of statutory maternity pay will be subject to annual review and uprating each April on the same basis as statutory sick pay and other social security benefits.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 150, in page 66, line 23, leave out from '(b) to end of line 27 and insert ',(c) or (d) above'.

No. 151, in page 66, line 40, at end insert— '(6A) An increase in a sum such as is specified in subsection (1)(d) above shall form part of the Category A or Category B retirement pension of the person to whom it is paid.'.—[Mr. Newton.]
