PLANT DISEASES ORDINANCE 1955

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 4 of 1955

	In 1938 the Plant Diseases Ordinance 1934‑1938 and the Regulations thereunder were amended to confirm with a change in Departmental administration.  Subsequently, however, the administration of the Ordinance and Regulations reverted to the Department of the Interior, within which it is now the responsibility of the Agriculture and Stock section, and the references to the Director‑General of Works therefore became anomalous.  The object of the present amendments to the Ordinance and Regulations is formally to rectify this anomaly.
