Reckoning of Credited Contributions.

1. For the purposes of determining whether the first statutory condition is fulfilled in the case of any insured contribu-tor— (b) if the number of contributions actually paid in respect of him before he ceased to receive whole-time education or before he attained the age of sixteen years, as the ease may be, is in excess of the number with which he is so credited as aforesaid, any contributions so paid in respect of weeks before the beginning of the said period shall be taken into account to the extent of the excess; but except for the purpose of determining whether the number of contributions actually paid in respect of an insured contributor is so in excess as aforesaid no such contributions paid in respect of the said period shall be taken into account.
