(1);

8. Sub-section (2) of section 43 of the Motor Spirit Ordinance, 1930. is amended by the insertion of the words ", if practicable," after the word "together" in the first line.
Objects and Reusons.
1. Clause 2 of this Bill will enable the Governor in Council to make regulations for the purpose of implementing any International Agreement for the reciprocal exemption of Aircraft from duties on oils used in air traffic.
2. The Motor Spirit Ordinance, 1930, refers specifically to aircraft in section 14 (1). The object of clauses 3, 4, 6. and 7 is to make other sections of the Ordinance specifically applicable to aircraft.
3. Section 30 of the Motor Spirit Ordinance, 1930, provides that no person shall import any light oils for sale except under and in accordance with an importer's licence. Clause 5 of this Bill deletes the words "for sale" and thus enables the Superintendent of Imports and Exports to control all importations of light oil.
4. Section 43 (2) of Ordinance No. 4 of 1930 as amended by section 5 of Ordinance No. 32 of 1930 provided that every person arrested shall, together with the light oils found in his possession, be taken to a police station in order that he may be brought before a Magistrate to be dealt with according to law or to the office of the Superintendent for directions. It is often impracticable to transport large quantities of seized goods from the place where they are found together with the person arrested. Clause 8 inserts the words "if practicable,' after the word "together" in order to meet such cases.
