I move Amendment 10—In page 3 to insert before Section 6 a new Section as follows:—
6.—(1) In calculating the income mentioned in paragraph (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 2 of the Act of 1911, no account shall be taken of any amounts received during a period of not more than six months in any year by a person or by the husband or wife of a person (as the case may be) under a medical certificate as sickness benefit or disablement benefit from a Friendly Society or Trade Union or under the National Insurance Act, 1911.
(2) Clause (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 4 of the Act of 1919 is hereby repealed.
Clause B of Sub-section (1) of Section 4 of the Act of 1919 provides that in calculating means, account should be taken of any amounts received during a period of not more than three months in any year by the persons named under a medical certificate as sickness benefit from a Friendly Society or Trade Union, or under the National Insurance Act, 1911. The amendment proposes to extend the period of three to six months, and to include disablement benefit in the exemption from calculation.
