§ [No. 50]
§
Schedule 5, page 43, line 21, leave out from "the" to end of line 27, and insert—
the following enactments—
the National Insurance Act 1965,
the National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act 1965, or
the National Health Service Contributions Act 1965.
§ (c) amounts deductible under any enactment, or in pursuance of a request in writing by the debtor, for the purposes of a superannuation scheme within the meaning of the Wages Councils Act 1959."
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 50. The object of this 1033 Amendment is to correct two defects in paragraph 3 of Schedule 5, which defines the "attachable earnings" for the purposes of an attachment of earnings order in the ways there set out. Sub-paragraph (b) is defective because the enactments specified in Schedule 6 (which deal with social security contributions and allowances) do not include the National Health Service Contributions Act 1965. Subparagraph (c) is defective because the reference to amounts deductible under any enactment other than the Bill should be confined to amounts deductible for the purposes of a superannuation scheme within the meaning of the Wages Councils Act.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
