Owing to the increase in the value of goods and the consequent

decrease in the purchasing value of money, the maximum penalties

laid down in the penalty sections of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance,

It is therefore proposed by this Bill to amend the principal Or-

dinance to raise all the maximum penalties by 300%. 1
