EMERGENCY (PROHIBITION OF DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES) (REVOCATION) REGULATIONS, 1955

The Chief Minister: May it please you, Mr Speaker, Sir, can we take it that the motion is read as written?

Mr Speaker indicated assent.

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 (Prohibition of Discharge of Firearms and Explosives) (Revocation) Regulations, 1955, made on the 20th day of April, 1955, and published as Notification No. S 118 in the Gazette Supplement No. 32 of 22nd April, 1955, as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 4 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.

The Chief Minister: Thank you, Sir. Gentlemen, all that the motion standing in my name means is that the Emergency (Prohibition of Discharge of Fire-arms and Explosives) Regulations, 1948, are revoked.

There is one other matter that I wish to mention, and that is the Emergency Regulations known as "Control of Ships' Crews and Passengers Regulations". They, never having been approved after having been promulgated, are, in fact, already a dead letter so that there was no necessity for a special revocation, and this special one deals with the revocation of the Emergency (Prohibition of Discharge of Firearms and Explosives) Regulations. I beg to move, Sir, the motion that stands in my name.

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 (Prohibition of Discharge of Firearms and Explosives) (Revocation) Regulations, 1955, made on the 20th day of April, 1955, and published as Notification No. S 118 in the Gazette Supplement No. 32 of 22nd April, 1955, as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 4 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.
