SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE: Sir, I move that the clause 6 be further amended as set out under my name in the paper circulated to Members, By deleting the words 'hospital by virtue of an application' and substituting the words 'mental hospital' in new section 35(4)(a).

is therefore unnecessary.
