I move:—

In sub-section (1), lines 9-11, to delete the words " (other than a notice only requiring any premises, plant, machinery, appliances, or utensils to be cleansed)."

It is possible for inspectors to make mistakes. I had a case brought to my notice where a manager had sand near his premises for the purpose of making concrete, and the inspector mistook it for sweepings. That, probably, is unusual. But there are possibilities even in regard to those matters which I propose to delete. I propose that these words be deleted, and that the right to refer to the arbitrator shall not be limited as it is by the section as it stands.

It would be impossible to accept that amendment. The inspector reports that the place needs cleansing there is an appeal, and it is cleaned before the appeal comes on. and there is an end of it.

But in a case such as I have mentioned where there is an erroneous report, what remedy has the person?

None. That is the fact. You have to bank to a certain extent on the honour and efficiency of your officers.

We must take it for granted that the inspectors will be honest.

If such an error did occur, and if the person could prove that an erroneous report had been made, disciplinary action could be taken?

Yes.

I missed a point which I thought would be worthy of consideration on Section 5.

We cannot go back. Bring it up on the Report Stage. Section 7. There is an amendment, No.17, in the name of Deputy Johnson.

Not moved.
