for an emergency and removed when that emergency is passed. There is no reason if that emergency ceases at any time before June 1, 1939, why the Ordinance should not be repealed before

pressing need for such legislation, and if it is to be passed at all I suggest with deference, that it is the only measure

of its kind in English legislation which appears to cover the

present emergency. I suggest that this is a case not only

where Your Excellency should allow this notice to stand valid

for this meeting, but also to allow suspension of Standing

Orders to enable the Bill to pass through all its stages

under Standing Order 29.
