D.C.S.(S.D)

Please see (188). I find myself in complete agreement with the S.G.
regarding the disposal of emergency legislation enacted in 1967, except
perhaps regarding the retention of Emergency (Principal) Regulation 136A
giving increased powers to the District Court. This regulation was
criticised by Justice, and I think it would be more in keeping with
normality to restrict the District Court to five year sentances and
transfer anything over this back to the Supreme Court.

2. I see that S.G. also suggest that certain provisions should
incorporated into the Public Order Ordinance. While I agree that this is
the appropriate place for them, care will have to be taken in adding yet
more powers to this ordinance and it might be a good idea to use the
occasion to introduce some of the changes recommended by the special
report by Justice.

3.

Presumably S.G. wishes to have the comments of ourselves and Police in
writing before calling a meeting.

M.131

At (196)I is a further report from S.G. concerning

disposal of 1967 emergency legislation.

Para.3 is being dealt with in CR.5/3231/59, but I mave been asked to
hold up action while an amendment is drafted to Regulation 136 to make
quite sure that the Governor has powers to discontinue regulations he
has brought into force.

св

Para 2 agreed at (193) that E. (P)R's 119A and

B could be discontinued, but at (195) the Governor's Committee did not
agree the recommendation. These are, however, very strong measures, and
difficult to defend since the onus is on the accused to prove his
innocence, rather than the normal process of British law. I, therefore,
agree with the S.G. that the discontinuance (rather than repeal) of
these regulations would have a good publicity effect.

Para 4-5 - A suitable press release can be drafted once the Ex.
Co. memo on CR.5/3231/59 has been approved.

Para 6 - the permanent homes for these emergency provisions set
out in the schedule seen to be satisfactory, although I should like to
discuss further with the Law Draftsman, since some of these ordinances,
e.g. Public Order, Protected Places and Control of Publications require
amendment in any event.

Para.7 I agree with the C., and in fact made the same comment when
'Justice' challenged us on this regulation.

I wonder why the S.G. did not consult us first before sending this
in, It does not appear suitable for presentation to theGovernor's
Committee in its present form.

Please see the SG's latest draft report on emergency legislation at This
is based on the decisions taken at your meeting recorded at M.138 The
main points made are as follows:-

The majority of the proposals made in the schedule to the last repott at
(190) are now to be incorporated in a omnibus amendment to the Public
Order Ordinance a draft of these has now arrived on CR.3285/57, and will
eventually be presented to Ex-Co and Leg-Co.

-

Inflammatory Speeches & Posters to remain in force until the end of the
year.

Simulated bombs to be repealed next as it is bad law.

Legal Aid to be revoked as now unnecessary.

Fireworks to be repealed as soon as C for Mines has finished paying
compensation. A consequential amendment to the Dangerous Goods (General)
Regulations, to make the possession of any quantity of fireworks subject
to licence, will be required at the same time.

-

Identification E(P)R.96. Mr. Hobley strongly takes issue with C.P. this
regulation which he says is a menace to civil liberties. This should,
perhaps, be further discussed at Govt House.

on

In general, the report is rather tediously written, but being
Mr.Hobley's own work, it presumably cannot be tightened up before being
put to the Governor's Committee.

Subject to the inclusion of C.P's comments, can this now go forward to
