Section 355(1). The section should
read "The Governor shall nominate and appoint a
Committee" so as to provide for its compulsory
appointment.
Consideration should be given to
the desirability of requiring the Committee to
treat as confidential any information coming
before it officially (cf. Section 356 as regards
Examiner of Banks).
Section 355(2). It is suggested that
members of the Advisory Committee should not
be absolutely protected from all liability in
respect of their statements, but only when these
statements are made in good faith.
Section 358. (Take in from overleaf).
Section 360(2). The same comment may be
made here as on Section 353(3).
