§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will approach the Government of the Falkland Islands, including the dependencies of South Georgia and South Sandwich, and ask whether they wish the enlarged Admiralty jurisdiction conferred upon the High Court of the United Kingdom by the Administration of Justice Act, 1956, to be extended to the Falkland Islands, including the dependencies of South Georgia and South Sandwich, by an Order in Council.
§ Mr. SandysThe re-defined Admiralty jurisdiction conferred upon the High Court of the United Kingdom by the Administration of Justice Act, 1956, was extended to the Falkland Islands by the 217W Falkland Islands' Application of Enactments (Amendment) Ordinance, 1962, and to its dependencies—including South Georgia and South Sandwich—by the Falkland Islands' Application of Colony Laws Ordinance, 1962. The Falkland Islands Government preferred to provide for the extension by such legislation rather than by an Order in Council.
