Mr. Glenvil Hall
I beg to move, in page 51, line 35, to leave out paragraph 1, and to insert:
"1. Where any person to whom section thirty-five of this Act applies ceases to be a civil servant after making periodical contributions under section seven or section twenty of this Act, the period in respect of which contributions may be returned to him by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section eight or paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section twenty-one of this Act respectively shall be reduced by the number of years of reckonable service which are taken into account under subsection (3) of the said section thirty-five or would be so taken into account but for the provisions of subsection (4) of section thirty-six of this Act.
This Amendment and the next make consequential adjustments in the provisions dealing with persons to whom Clauses 35 and 36 apply and are made necessary by the Amendments which we have made to Clauses 8 and 21, and to Clause 36 earlier this afternoon.2. For the purpose of computing any contribution to be made under section nine or section twenty-two of this Act in respect of a person to whom section thirty-five of this Act applies there shall be taken into account (notwithstanding anything in subsection (5) of the said section nine or subsection (5) of the said section twenty-two) any year of reckonable service which is taken into account for the purposes of subsection (3) of the said section thirty-five or which would be so taken into account but for the provisions of subsection (4) of section thirty-six of this Act."
Amendment agreed to.
Further Amendments made: In page 52, line 15, at end, insert:
"Provided that the years added by virtue of this paragraph together with the years taken into account by virtue of paragraph 2 of this Schedule shall not exceed five in all."
In line 23, at end, insert:
"Provided that the years added by virtue of this paragraph together with the years taken into account by virtue of paragraph 2 of this Schedule shall not exceed five in all."
In page 53, line 10, leave out from beginning, to "that," and insert:

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the Third time."

I should not like the Bill to pass without thanking the Financial Secretary for the new Clause which he moved earlier. I am sorry that I was not in my place to thank him then, but I did not appreciate that it would be taken on the recommittal of the Bill. I want to raise a small point about line 5, which says:
I understand that in 1914 and 1915 there was no declaration of success and the first intimation to the individual who was fortunate enough to survive the war, was his actual appointment to the Service. I do not believe that it is the intention of the right hon. Gentleman to sidestep this issue by using this wording to avoid the point which he has otherwise covered in the Clause. Perhaps he will be good enough to look at this later and give me that reassurance."if and so far as that service took place after the date on which he was declared successful in a competitive examination."
Question put, and agreed to.
Bill read the Third time, and passed.
