(1)Subject to subsection (2) below, if any person who is applying for or receiving periodical payments under section 1(1)(b) or 5(1) above accepts any office or employment, the Board may refuse the application or, as the case may be, may suspend the periodical payments or reduce the amount thereof so as to take account of the emoluments of or other benefits which arise from the office or employment.
(2)The Board shall not exercise its powers under subsection (1) above in a manner whereby the total annual amount of the emoluments in question and the periodical payments (if any) would be less than the national minimum stipend.
(3)It shall be the duty of every person who applies for or receives periodical payments under section 1(1)(b) or 5(1) above to disclose to the Board any office or employment which has been accepted by him and the terms thereof; and if he fails to do so and it appears to the Board that in consequence it has made periodical payments which otherwise it would not have made or periodical payments in excess of those it would otherwise have made, it may, without prejudice to its powers under subsection (1) above, direct the repayment of the amount of the payments or excess or such part thereof as it thinks just, and that amount shall be recoverable as a debt due to the Board.
