The Supplies and Services (Transitional Powers) Bill got its second
reading on Tuesday. I hope there were some honourable members who understood what they were agreeing to. Here is part of Clause 5 of the Bill—a fair sample of the whole:
5.—(r) Save as is otherwise expressly provided in the last two foregoing sections of this Act, nothing in this Act shall be construed as restricting the operation of the principal Acts while those Acts remain in force, or as affecting their application to Defence Regula- tions having effect by virtue of this Act, and any reference in those Acts to the purposes for which Defence Regulations may be made shall, in their application to Defence Regulations having effect by virtue of this Act, be construed as including a reference to the purposes specifird in section one or, as the case may be, section two of this Act.
Any question to raise on that?
