23. Mr. Walker-Smith

asked the Minister of Works how many officers of his Department are authorised to sign Statutory Rules and Orders on his behalf; and what are the respective departmental ranks of these persons.

It is the practice in my Department for Statutory Rules and Orders to be signed by the permanent secretary or, in his absence, by one of the two deputy secretaries.
