HC Deb 14 May 1935 vol 301 cc1663-4

9.51 p.m.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 322, line 11, to leave out "hold office," and to insert "be appointed."

Paragraph 2 of this Schedule says that the non-official members shall hold office for five years. If these words were left there would have to be some special provision to enable them to resign voluntarily if they desired to do so. Therefore, the Amendment simply substitutes the words "be appointed" for "hold office."

Amendment agreed to.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 322, line 25, at the end, to insert: 4. The Governor, exercising his individual judgment, may make rules providing for the appointment of temporary members to act in place of any members temporarily unable to perform the duties of their office. This is exactly similar to the Amendment which the Committee passed earlier in the day with regard to the Indian Railway Board.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 322, line 31, after the second "of," insert "or tenders for."

In line 34, after "holding," insert "or tendering for."[The Solicitor-General.]
