Special Committee Defence Bill, 1951 debate -
Wednesday, 23 Apr 1952

SECTION 170.

Debate resumed on the following amendment:—
In sub-section (2), page 74, paragraph (e), lines 41 and 42, to delete " any person subject to military law who is so authorised by any commanding officer " and substitute " any officer or man ".

I will look into this point and see if we can insert words which will meet Deputy Cowan's views.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

I move amendment No. 209:—

To delete sub-section (4).

I felt that this sub-section was unnecessary.

It can remain there with any alteration we may put in.

If the Minister thinks it necessary for any purpose of clarification, I have no objection to its remaining.

So we are advised.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Section 170 agreed to.
Amendment No. 210 not moved.
Section 171 agreed to.
