Several international conventions have been made on the subject of drugs, subsequent to those mentioned in Regulation No. 1 of 1931 and we should consider whether the Regulation requires any amendment in the light of them.

hi on Orders i concil

Regulation No. 1 of 1938 contains a reference to the "District Court" which will have to be amended, if the proposals in Judge Hines Reporth for the establishment of a new system of Courts are put into effect.

Regulation No. 1 of 1947 provides for legis lation by the Political Resident by means of order in writing and it lso gives the Political Agent the same powers as the political Resident in this respect. I guestion whether it is desirable to have a category of subord inate legislation inferior to King's Regulations and I doubt whether, under the Order in Council it is competent for the Political Resident to delegate legislative powers to the Political Agent. We should have the views of Sir Eric Beckett and Judge Haines on these points.
