I beg to move amendment No. 63, in clause 19, page 16, line 13, at end insert—
‘( ) Except as regulations may provide, a person who is entitled to additional statutory paternity pay is not entitled to a contributory allowance in respect of a day that falls within the additional paternity pay period.
( ) Regulations may provide that—
(a) an amount equal to a person’s additional statutory paternity pay for a period shall be deducted from a contributory allowance in respect of the same period,
(b) a person shall only be entitled to a contributory allowance if there is a balance after the deduction, and
(c) if there is such a balance, a person shall be entitled to a contributory allowance at a weekly rate equal to it.’.
