name and adress etc., when called upon to do so by, inter alia,

a police office acting in the course of his duty.

gous Item (5)

Two for for permanent legislation.

I think it

I would see no legal objection to permanent

statutory provision on the lines of regulation 119 C.

Items (6) and (7). I think it would be reasonable for

there to be permanent legislation making it an offence for a

person without lawful authority or reasonable excuse to have

in his possession any simulated bomb,

Item (11). The regulations to which this item refers

empower the Governor to declare buildings or areas to be

"closed areas" thereby prohibiting access by unauthorised

persons. I do not think that permanent statutory provision

to that effect would be objectionable if it was based on

appropriate purposes, such as, the control of buildings or

areas in the occupation of Her Majesty's Forces.

Another

ground which would be reasonable for the conferment of such power

is if the area is enclosed for the purpose of preventing or

detecting crime.

Item (12). I see no legal objection to permanent provision

being made.

Item (13). From the point of view of human rights, I do

not see how permanent legislation controlling the possession

of fireworks can reasonably be said to be objectionable from

the legal angle.
