HC Deb 17 July 1925 vol 186 c1757
Mr. GUINNESS

I beg to move, in page 3, to leave out lines 30 to 39 inclusive, and to insert instead thereof (1) The Commissioners appointed by the Corporation shall, in the first instance, be appointed within six weeks after the passing of this Act. One of such Commissioners shall retire on the ninth day of November, nineteen hundred and twenty-six, another on the same clay in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, and the third on the same day in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. The Corporation shall determine the rotation of such retirements at the time of appointing the Commissioners. (2) On the ninth day of November, nineteen hundred and twenty-six, and thereafter on some date in the month of November in each successive year the corporation shall appoint a Commissioner to fill the place of the Commissioner appointed by them then going out of office. Bach Commissioner so appointed shall hold office for three years, hut a retiring Commissioner shall (if qualified) be eligible for reappointment, This is designed to provide that representatives of the Sandwich Corporation shall not all retire together from the Harbour Board but one each year.
