§ 48. Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Minister of Supply the purpose of paragraph 2 (3) of the Emergency Powers (Defence) Manufactured Articles (Measuring Instruments and Machines) Order (S.R. and O., No. 1646 of 1943), under which conditions not specified in the Order may be attached to licences granted under the Order; and, as such conditions are intended to have statutory force, will he issue a supplementary Order specifying the nature of any contemplated conditions?
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply (Mr. Peat)The object of the provision is to enable the Ministry to attach conditions regarding such matters as the period of validity of the licence, notification to the Ministry of the delivery of the article and the supplier from whom the licensee may acquire the article. It would be cumbrous and inconvenient to have to include in the Order a statement of any such incidental conditions which may from time to time be necessary.
