Clause 5 (2).

I suppose a person under detention by virtue of an Order under Clause 4 (1) would be treated differently from a person undergoing imprisonment, and if a person serving a sentence

of imprisonment is detained under Clause 5 (2) after the expiration of his sentence, I suggest that he should not be treated as if he were still undergoing

ordinary imprisonment.

Clause 6.

This contains the complete Law as regards deportation of British subjects, and I suggest, therefore, that it would be sufficient for the Section to provide simply that notwithstanding anything in this Ordinance a Deportation Order should not be issued against any person whom the Governor-in-Council finds to be a British subject unless in the opinion of the Governor-in-Council either condition (d) or (e) applies (To thes would have to be added any provision ultimately decided upon as regards judicial inquiry). Sub-Section 2 does not seem to be necessary since Clause 4 (1) as it stands applies to any person whether he be a British subject or alien. Incidentally, I do not quite understand paragraph (a). If the Governor-in-Council is satisfied

that the person concerned is a British subject, what is the additional virtue of a certificate of British

birth?

Clause 12 (1)

Clause 12 (1).

This seems to contemplate that a deportee

can be put on a ship not going anywhere near any port that would permit him to land.
