Under this Bill and under the Road Traffic Act of 1930 there will be examiners and certifying officers, to whom appeals will be made from the examiners. The certifying officers will be those appointed under the Road Traffic Act of 1930. Under that Act they have all the powers of an examiner and the sole object of this new Clause is to give these officials the right to act as examiners under this Bill as well.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Clause added to the Bill.
