(1) In determining whether a person is capable or incapable of work, there shall be disregarded any work which that person has undertaken as a councillor.
(2) For this purpose “councillor” means a member of a district council.
(3) The reference in subsection (1) above to the work which a person undertakes as a councillor shall be taken to include any work which he undertakes as a member of any body established under any statutory provision of which he is a member by virtue of his being a councillor.
(4) In making any such determination as is mentioned in subsection (1) above a person shall be treated as having been incapable of work on any day which falls in the pre-commencement period and which—
(a) would have been treated as a day on which he was so incapable, were there disregarded any work which he undertook (or was capable of undertaking) as a councillor; but
(b) would not have been so treated apart from this subsection.
