With regard to the following marginal query by the Board of Trade in sub- section 8 of section 4, namely:-
"Having regard to the questions which have arisen in the United Kingdom under section 94 of the Imperial Act as to the power of the Board of Trade to make regulations which would enable them to endorse on the certificate of an officer or engineer who goes in for an examination for a certificate of a higher grade a statement (if it be so in fact) that he has failed to pass the vision test in the subsequent examination. Whether, after the word " Applicants," words such as " and dealing with certificates already granted" should not be inserted."
It is suggested that there seems no necessity for dealing with this now and in this place, since the Board of Trade have made a special Regulation on the subject in their Rules for Examination of Masters and Mates, which rules have been adopted in Hong Kong.
4 (8) See letter of Board of Trade to Colonial Office of 21st June, 1901, disposing of this.
