§ 70. Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Health whether he has now considered the observations of Mr. Justice Streatfeild on 19th November in the King's Bench Division, with regard to his circulars, which purported to sub-delegate requisitioning powers, and criticising them as unintelligible and inaccessible to those whose rights were affected; and if he has any statement to make.
§ Mr. J. EdwardsYes. The circulars in question were not renewed after 30th June, 1948, but were replaced by a procedure under which the conditions are expressed more clearly and the terms of delegation are brought to the notice of the owner in each case.
