A BILL
[No. 14:14.5.36.-1.]
INTITULED
An Ordinance to amend the Factories and Workshops Ordin-
ance, 1932.
Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:
1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Factories and Short title. Workshops Amendment Ordinance, 1936.
2. Section 4 of the Factories and Workshops Ordinance, 1932, is amended by the addition of the following sub-section at the end thereof :-
(4) It shall be lawful for the Protector in such cases as he shall think fit to exempt any industrial undertaking from any regulation under this Ordinance or to order the adoption of special precautions additional to any precautions required by any regulation under this Ordinance provided that an appeal shall lie to the Governor in Council from any such order.
New sub. section (4)
of Ordinance No. 27 of 1932, s. 4.
Objects and Reasons.
Owing to the very great variety in the nature of the numerous different businesses carried on in the Colony and in the types of buildings used for industrial undertakings it is virtually impossible for the Governor in Council to make regulations prescribing all the minor precautions which may be appropriate in certain factories and workshops. The proposed amendment enables the Protector in special cases to make modifications in or additions to the regulations made by the Governor in Council whenever the circumstances of the case render such variations reasonable or desirable.
C. G. ALABASTER,
Attorney General.
