With this it will be convenient to discuss the following:
Amendment No. 20, in
schedule 5, page 32, line 11, at end insert—
'Continued payment of benefit
13A In any case where the Secretary of State judges that the ending of an entitlement to state benefit under this Schedule may give rise to hardship or to excessive administrative cost he may provide for the continuing payment of benefit as if the certificate had never been issued.'.
