HONG KONG CORPS OF AIR RAID WARDENS (NO. 2) AMENDMENT BILL, 1941.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the first reading of a Bill intituled “An Ordinance to amend further the Hong Kong Corps of Air Raid Wardens Ordinance, 1940.” He said: The object of this Bill is to make statutory provision for certain additional types of air raid wardens which it has been decided to appoint.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.
Objects and Reasons.
The “Objects and Reasons” for the Bill were stated as follows:—
1. The principal Ordinance, No. 6 of 1940, defined “members” as including officers, subordinate officers, Air Raid Wardens, House Wardens and Honorary Air Raid Wardens.
2. The Amendment Ordinance, No. 6 of 1941, substituted a wider definition so as to include the above and also Warden Telephonists.
3. Continued expansion of the Corps has resulted in the creation of the additional classifications of Wardens (Communications), Wardens (Tunnels), Wardens (Motor Cyclists), Wardens (Fire Fighters) and Wardens (Commissariat).
4. The object of this Bill is to add these additional classes to those already included in the definition of members.
