I beg to move, in page 5, line 42, after "and," to insert: except in so far as it is directed to be construed with the Pensions (Increase) Acts, 1920 and 1924. This Amendment is intended to bring this Clause into line with a new Clause which I propose to move later, and which we discussed last night when the Money Resolution passed through Committee.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 5, line 43, after the third "Act," insert "except as aforesaid."

In page 5, line 45, leave out from "in," to the end of line 47, and add: this Act to any enactment shall be construed, except where the context otherwise requires, as references to that enactment as amended by any other enactment, including this Act."—[Mr. Glenvil Hall.]

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill
