Clause 2 of the Bill seeks to amend the

Ordinance by adding a new section 35A to provide that if the Insurance Authority requires an insurer to make a bank deposit in the name of the Insurance Authority, to be held in trust for the insurer pursuant to a notice issued under section 35, any charge of whatever nature created over that deposit shall be .void against all persons. Any deposit made is thus preserved as a potential source of extra protection for policy holders.
