after the date of transfer; and that the transfer value should 
continue as at present to represent the liability in respect of 
normal benefits only. (para. 585.) 
(77) That in order to provide a safeguard against the risk 
of excessive transfers to any Society in consequence of the pre- 
ceding recommendation, the Minister should be given power to 
suspend the right of any Society to accept members by way of 
transfer if the membership of the Society has been increased 
in this way since the date of the last valuation by more than a 
prescribed proportion. (para. 587.) 
(78) That in the case of transfers between branches of the 
same Society the branch to which a member transfers should be 
given the option of allowing him to participate in all additional 
benefits immediately. (para. 588.) 
(79) That Section 75 (1) (a) of the Act should be amended 
so as to provide that where the valuer certifies that a substantial 
part of the surplus of a Society has accrued in respect of mem- 
bers who have ceased, or are likely to cease shortly to be insured 
as employed contributors by reason of passing over the income 
limit, the scheme of additional benefits may, subject to the 
approval of the Minister, provide for an extension of the period 
during which additional benefits, other than cash benefits, may 
be allowed after membership has ceased to persons who are at 
the valuation date, or within a period prescribed by the scheme 
have been, members of the Society. (para. 590.) 
(80) That Section 75 (4) should be amended so as to provide 
that the conditions under which persons should be entitled to 
participate in additional benefits shall be as prescribed. (para. 
579.) 
(81) That provision should be included in Section 75 of the 
Act which will limit the period of currency of additional benefit 
schemes to such period as may be fixed by the Minister. (para. 
S571) 
(82) That Section 75 (2) should be amplified so as to provide 
that all schemes of additional benefits shall be subject to Regu- 
lations in force at the time, and that the Minister should have 
power to make and amend these Regulations as and when 
Necessary. (para. 576.) 
(83) That Section 75 should be amplified so as to provide 
that the Treasury Valuer, in certifying what part of a realised 
surplus is disposable, shall have regard to the desirability of main- 
taining the additional benefits available out of that surplus beyond 
the period of currency of the scheme. (para. 574.) 
(84) That it is not desirable to lay down any statutory limit 
to the extent to which a Society may provide out of its surplus 
an increase of cash benefits, but that the question of the dis- 
posal of a surplus on a reasonable basis should be determined
