9th July 1969
(25,
Thank you for your letter of 23rd June,
1969, about emergency legislation.
The point you make in your paragraph 3 is a valid one, and, as Denys Roberts recently told John Moreton, I see no difficulty in accepting your proposal to modify, for the purposes of incorporation in permanent legislation, the emergency powers of Police officers under Regulation 96, whereby they may require members of the public to identify themselves.
The overall position is not quite as described in your paragraph 1, but may be set out as follows:-
(a)

Cap 245
incers (i) Regulations 25, 96 and 113 are still
at present in force pending incorpora- tion into permanent legislation, when they will be revoked.
(ii) Regulation 37 is still in force pending revocation of the above regulations, when it will be dis- continued but not revoked.
(iii) Regulation 136 is still in force
Discontinued
LN42/70
pending revocation of Regulations Discontinued
25, 96 and 113 and discontinuance of Regulation 37, when it will be discontinued.

(iv) Regulation 2, which is purely inter-
pretative, remains and will still remain in force.
Emergency (Deportation & Detention Regulations and the related Advisory Tribunal Rules and Forms Order remain in force.
Covered by Pharmacy & Poisons (Ag. Parsons) Res 1970

the completion of various pieces of permanent legislation, the enactment of which, while covering many other matters, would also make such provisions as would enable these regulations to be revoked. Of these, the Emergency (Agricultural Poisons) Regulations are likely to be replaced and revoked quite soon: revocation of the remainder may take some time.
I hope this now makes the full position
Что
Yers ever
David.
