The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 40, line 13, to leave out Sub-section (5).

Mr. C. WILLIAMS

This is an important Sub-section, because under it the tribunal, in determining an application, is to have regard to an adequate reserve fund.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

This Sub-section appears in two places. It is in another place in exactly the same form.

Amendment agreed to.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill."
