21. Clause 20 adds a paragraph to section 42 (1) of the principal Ordinance giving the Governor in Council express power to amend, vary, rescind, revoke or suspend the Tables in the Schedule. Many of these Tables require revision and although the power to deal with them is probably given in section 40 (1) of the Interpretation Ordinance, No. 31 of 1911, it is considered desirable to give an express power in the principal Ordinance.
22. Clause 21 makes an addition to section 46 of the principal Ordinance necessitated by the use of the word "steamer" in the Act, in the Ordinance and in this Bill.
23. Clause 22, which has been added in consequence of instructions received in the Secretary of State's telegram of the 27th May, 1935, amends section 4 of the principal Ordin- ance by the addition thereto of a new sub-section, numbered (1A), which provides that every officer on board a foreign passenger steamship who has received a certificate of com- petency granted by a competent authority of his country, which the Governor is satisfied is of corresponding value to any certificate of competency granted under the Ordinance, shall be deemed to be duly certificated under the Ordinance in respect of such foreign steamship, provided that his certificate is of a grade appropriate to his station in the foreign steamship or of a higher grade.
24. Clause 23 brings this amending Ordinance into force on the 1st July, 1935 on which date Part I of the Act of 1932 will be extended to the Colony by Order in Council.
June, 1935.
C. G. ALABASTER,
Attorney General.
