Explanatory Note.
Comparison of Regulation 67 of the Emergency (Principal) Regulations, 1952, with corresponding powers under the United Kingdom Defence (General) Regulations, 1939, has shown that the focal regulatione include no specific provision for delegation on the part of a competent authority. Past experience has shown that it is desirable that a power of delegation, within certain limits, is necessary if a competent authority is to carry out his functions effectively and without delay, which in an emergency might have serious consequences. The object of the new regulations published above is to bring local legislation into line with that obtaining in the United Kingdom. Powers to call for Information relating to stocks and location of articles which may be required have also been included.
