considerations of a legal nature.

If, on the

other hand, the matter is to depend on public

interest attention is drawn to the provisions

in this regard of Section 5 of the Palestine

Ordinance, which might be followed.

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).
