As from the date on which section 9 of this Act comes into force any allowance under the Family Allowances Act 1965 awarded before that date shall, subject to any prescribed exceptions or conditions, become payable at the rate provided for by this Act and the award shall have effect accordingly. Accordingly any award of such an allowance made before that date (but after that date is appointed) either may provide for the allowance to be paid as from that date at the rate provided for by this Act or may be expressed in terms of the rates appropriate at the date of the award.
Where for any purpose of the provisions amended by paragraph (b) of section 9(1) of this Act the weekly rate at which a person contributes to the cost of providing for a child is to be calculated for a period after that paragraph applies but account is taken of amounts referable to the period before it applies, those amounts shall be treated as increased in proportion to the increase effected by that paragraph in the required rate of contributions.
