HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.
TRADE MARKS (EMERGENCY) BILL, 1940.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the second reading of a Bill intituled "An Ordinance to make such special provision with respect to trade marks as is expedient to meet any emergency which may arise as a result of war."
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.
On the motion of the Attorney General, seconded by the Colonial Secretary, Council then went into Committee to consider the following Bills clause by clause:-
INCITEMENT TO DISAFFECTION AMENDMENT BILL, 1940.
MERCHANT SHIPPING AMENDMENT BILL, 1940.
SHOPS (HOURS OF CLOSING) BILL, 1940.
HONG KONG CORPS OF AIR RAID WARDENS BILL, 1940.
ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES BY CONSULAR OFFICERS BILL, 1940.
TRADE MARKS (EMERGENCY) BILL, 1940.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL-In Clause 3 of the Hong Kong Corps of Air Raid Wardens Bill, sub-paragraph g, I move that the words "when called out for active service" be added. This clause enables the Governor in Council to make regulations in connection with certain matters, and as the Ordinance does, in Clause 20, page 5, provide for resignations in ordinary circumstances, it is desired to make provision for resignations during the period when Wardens are called out for active service.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and this was agreed to.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.-I beg to move that in Clause 20, at the beginning, the words "Except when called out for active service" be inserted.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and this was agreed to.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.-In Clause 24 I move that after the word "part" in the third line the words "Deputy Director of Air Raid Precautions" be added. The Deputy Director is mentioned in the marginal note but not in the text.
