I move amendment No. 7:
In page 4, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following:
"Amendment of section 7 of Principal Act
3. Section 7 of the Principal Act is amended—(a) in subsection (1) by substituting "26 weeks" for "18 weeks" in each place where it occurs, and
(b) in paragraph (a) of subsection (2)—(i) by substituting "26 weeks" for "18 weeks" in each place where it occurs, and
(ii) in subparagraph (ii) by substituting "26 times" for "18 times".".
This is just to bring things into line with the new arrangements for increasing the period from 18 to 26 weeks where there are other references.
