I beg to move, in page 3, line 24, to leave out from "exceeded," to "be," in line 28, and to insert:

"(a) sixty shillings for the week preceding any week for which she is entitled to a widowed mother's allowance, or
(b) forty shillings for the week preceding any week for which she is entitled to a widow's pension,
the weekly rate of the allowance or pension shall for the week for which she is so entitled."
The Amendment gives effect to the undertaking I gave to increase to 60s. the amount a widowed mother can earn without affecting her pension.

Amendment agreed to.
