The definitions in. 2(1) of "e-officio member", "Covernor" and "rub lic officer" and the ( inadvertent) cmission from 1.2 or the stock sub-section to the effect that references to the holders of offices are to include references to persons acting in those offices unless the contrary is stated (ar it would resumably have been for the rur oses of.. 5(1); seem to suggest that they refer only to the substantive holders of the offices concerned.

.17 to bring in officers acting in the absence of the substantive Chiefcretary, etc.
