§ Dr. Petersasked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the proposed amendment of the Evidence and Power of Attorney Act, 1940, empowering classes of persons unspecified and possibly unqualified, to administer oaths, he will consider including in any orders to be made under the proposed amending measure, in addition to a statement in the jurat, of the qualifications and capacity of the person administering the 1554W oath as may be specified by the Lord Chancellor, a provision that such person has an interest in the subject-matter of the affidavit or other document, and thus bring such persons within the scope of Section 1 (3) of the Commissioners for Oaths Act, 1889?
§ The Attorney-GeneralMy Noble Friend has power to include in any Orders made under the Evidence and Power of Attorney Act, 1940, provisions corresponding to those of Section 1 (3) of the Commissioners for Oaths Act, 1889, and this suggestion will be borne in mind in making any Order under that Act as amended by the Bill now before the House.
