The Chief Minister: May it please you, Sir, the longest part of this speech will be the reading out of this motion,
That this Assembly, in accordance with subsection (4) of section 4 of the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1948 (No. 17 of 1948), as amended by the Emergency Regulations (Amendment) Ordinance, 1948 (No. 39 of 1948) and the Emergency Regulations (Amendment) Ordinance, 1951 (No. 9 of 1951), resolves that the Emergency (Amendment) Regulations, 1955 made on the 20th day of April, 1955, and published as Notification No. S 117 in the Gazette Supplement No. 32 of 22nd April, 1955, as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 3 of 1955, shall continue in force until the expiration or revocation of any Proclamation extending the period of the Proclamation of Emergency published as Notification No. S 219 in the Gazette Supplement No. 50 of 26th July, 1948.
All that this very cumbersome motion means, Gentlemen, as far as I can understand, is that Regulations 3, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 25 and 32 of the Emergency Regulations are revoked. I can only add this: that the Government is completely satisfied that it is time these were revoked, that they arc of no further use, and that there can be no question of any damage to the fabric of security if they are revoked. I beg to move, Sir.
Mr Goode: I rise to second.
Question put, and agreed to.
Resolved,
That this Assembly, in accordance with subsection (4) of section 4 of the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1948 (No. 17 of 1948), as amended by the Emergency Regulations (Amendment) Ordinance, 1948 (No. 39 of 1948) and the Emergency Regulations (Amendment) Ordinance, 1951 (No. 9 of 1951), resolves that the Emergency (Amendment) Regulations, 1955 made on the 20th day of April, 1955, and published as Notification No. S 117 in the Gazette Supplement No. 32 of 22nd April, 1955, as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 3 of 1955, shall continue in force until the expiration or revocation of any Proclamation extending the period of the Proclamation of Emergency published as Notification No. S 219 in the Gazette Supplement No. 50 of 26th July, 1948.
