The following additional point could be made in
meeting the objection that it would be more appropriate
to regard this legislation as being of an emergency nature (see second paragraph of notes already supplied):
"As was stated in the House on the 5th December
Mr. Whitlock 7 this legislation strengthens
and brings up to date the law relating to
public order on lines to be found, for the
most part, in other territories
and this
refers to the permanent legislation of these
territories, not to emergency legislation.'
