§ Mr. Walker-SmithI beg to move, in page 4, line 44, after "satisfaction", to insert:
or the required facts are not stated".It would be convenient if we could, with Mr. Speaker's permission, consider this Amendment and the next one together. The Amendments are little more than drafting ones. Clause 5 (1) enables the Customs to require importers to do two things: first, to state certain facts, and second, to furnish proof. The default power in the Bill as drafted extends only to a failure to furnish proof. It should obviously extend to a failure to state facts as well. The Amendments effect this purpose.
§ Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 5, line 17, after "satisfaction", insert:
