I move amendment No. 17:

In page 9, after line 22, to insert the following:

“Meaning of widow and widower for purposes of one-parent family payment

14. Section 172(2) (amended by section 20 of the Act of 2010) of the Principal Act is amended by the substitution of the following paragraph for paragraph (b):
“(b) a widow who has remarried or entered into a civil partnership shall not be regarded as the widow of her former spouse and a widower who has remarried or entered into a civil partnership shall not be regarded as the widower of his former spouse,”.”.
