New Section 353(1). In order to define banking

business more clearly it should be provided that

a company is included which has as one of its

objects the carrying on of a banking business;

main

compare Section 3(2) of the Palestine Ordinance

amenti

as contained in Section 2 of the Ordinance

enclosed. In other respects consideration

might desirably be given to adopting the

provisions of that sub-section; or alternatively

the minimum amount of authorised and paid up

capital can presumably be fixed in relation

to the amount of business e.g. deposits,

and

in that event it should be considered whether

statutory provision should not be made for the

Advisory Committee to be consulted by the

Governor in this matter, and in such other

matters as the cancellation of a licence.

It is not clear whether the words "after this part

of this Ordinance comes into operation" qualify the

words "no banking company incorporated outside the

Colony" as well as the words "formed and registered

in the Colony". A licence should, it is suggested,

only be required when a company starts a banking

business
