asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning if he will indentify the powers enabling, other than those specified, to which reference is made in S.I. 1951, No. 219; and why these are not identified in the Instrument.

111. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Food if he will indentify the powers enabling, other than those specified, to which reference is made in S.I., 1951, No 236; and why these are not identified in the instrument.

Mr. F. Willey

112. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Transport if he will identify the powers enabling, other than those specified, to which reference is made in S.I., 1951, No. 224; and why these are not identified in the instrument.

Mr. Barnes

The only specific statutory powers under which this Order was made are those referred to in its opening words. The reference to other powers is a formula which is usually and properly employed in Statutory Instruments to comprehend such ancillary powers as are or might be brought into play when a specific power is exercised.
