§ 5.41 p.m.
§ The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Crookshank)I beg to move, in page 29, line 25, to leave out "and," and to insert:
(c) the power of the Commissioners to make regulations with respect to the hearing of appeals under Part II of the said Schedule shall extend to the hearing of appeals and the deciding of any matters by the Board of Referees under this Part of this Act; and.This is purely a machinery Amendment in order that the Commissioners may have power to make regulations in respect to the hearing of appeals. They are empowered under Sub-section (1) of the Clause to do that for the purpose of appeals before the Special Commissioners, because we have applied the provisions which cover appeals in the case of the National Defence Contribution. Those provisions, however, do not cover appeals to the Board of Referees, and in order that regulation may be made for that purpose this Amendment is moved.
§ Amendment agreed to.
