NOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTARIES

The examination of the Ordinance has not yet been

completed and it is not possible to give any indication of

what changes are likely to be made.

12. The legislation is not designed for dealing with

emergencies.

It strengthens and brings up to date the law

relating to public order on lines to be found for the most

part in legislation in other territories.

3, The only emergency regulations which have been

incorporated in the Ordinance are those dealing with the

offences of intimidation and intimidating assembly.

4.

It is true that these particular provisions are based

on Southern Rhodesia law, but it should be noted that the law

in question was enacted in 1960, that is, long before the

unilateral declaration of Independence in that country.

5. If the Member mentions specific sections of the Ordinance

to illustrate his reference to the burden of proof, it can be

stated that our consultations with the Governor cover provisions

raising this general issue.
