2.—(1) Where this Part applies—

(a) if the amount by which the annual rate of the remuneration exceeds the specified rate (“the excess remuneration”) is the same as or larger than the effective amount of the relevant allowance, the allowance shall not be paid; and

(b) in any other case, the amount of the relevant allowance shall be reduced by that of the excess remuneration.

(2) Where other children are also entitled to allowances and either sub-paragraph (2)(b) or (3)(b) of paragraph 1 of Part I applies—

(a) where sub-paragraph (1)(a) applies, each of the other allowances shall be re-calculated as if there were no entitlement to the relevant allowance; and

(b) where sub-paragraph (1)(b) applies, each of the other allowances shall be increased by the amount of the excess remuneration divided by the number of those allowances.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in sub-paragraph (2)—

(a) no child shall by virtue of that sub-paragraph receive an allowance greater than that to which he would be entitled if no relevant provision applied in his case; and

(b) the total of the effective amounts of the allowances to be paid under a relevant provision shall not by virtue of that sub-paragraph exceed what would otherwise have been payable under the relevant provision.
