I move:—
In the lines in the third column relating to the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1922, to insert in the third column before the word "section" the words and figures "sub-section (4) of Section I and."
This amendment is rather important from the point of view of what might be produced by its omission. Dependents' benefit is at present paid upon a certain scale. That scale is fixed by the Act of 1922. Sub-section (4) of Section I of the Act of 1922 provides that the section which says that dependents' allowance shall be payable on that particular scale shall only continue so long as the contributions fixed by the 1922 Act remain in force. These contributions are now being changed, and if we did not repeal this section the power to pay dependents' allowance would cease. We want to have that power, and we are consequently repealing the section.
