Will the Government state what the regula- tions are as to public enquiries being held into accidents such as these?

nolice:-

Can the Police not take measures to prevent

chair suplies from deserting their chairs when most required on occasions such as the Coro- nation night for instance?

Are the chair coolies allowed to leave their chairs lying unprotected on the public street?

If not, can the Police not take the number of chairs so deserted, and have the coolies belong ing to such chairs "punished by fine or the licensee punished by forfeiture of his license?

If the Police have no power to do this, will the Government not bring in an Ordinan e giving the Police such power?

Hon. May-1 have answered that question Hon. Shewaa-Surely the coolles must take their chair away.

Hon. May:They are not allowed to leave. their chairs unprotected in the streets,

Hon. Shewan-They are that is the question.
