Mr. Gaminara

Reference the third paragraph of your minute of 18 March:-

(a)

(6)

(0)

(a)

section 11(3) does not require an amendment similar to that proposed to be made to section 11(2) by clause 6 of the draft Bill;

paragraph 14 of "Justice's" memorandum, although at the beginning of the paragraph there is a reference to subsection (2), is in fact concemed with the amendment of section 12(3)(a) of the Ordinance. Clause 7(b) of the Bill makes the required amendment to section 12(3)(a);

it is proposed to repeal section 27 of the Ordinance and to replace it by a modified form of section 47 of the Trade Union

Registration Ordinance. This should, I think, satisfy "Justice";

under the heading paragraph 42 of the notes on the "Justice's" report, it was stated that section 37 could be amended to provide for reasonable notice. Consequently, when preparing the Savingram at (50) in

HWB 14/34, reference was not made to section 37 as it was assumed that the section would be amended so as to provide for reason- able notice. I suggest that a paragraph should be added to your draft Saving despatch drawing the Governor's attention to this omission on the lines of the addition that I have made.

Apart from this one addition, I have no comments to make on your draft.

af fratter. Beller
