I move amendment No. 31:

In page 27, line 19, to delete "to other vessels" and substitute "to such other vessel or vessels as may be specified by the Minister".

We have proposed an amendment to the section because the section as drafted seems to require the Minister to revoke all licences held by a person if he is exercising the power conferred by the section. We feel it is wrong that the Minister should have the power to determine that a particular class of licence should be revoked, in other words that the power of the Minister in terms of revocation is pitched too far. It should allow the kind of differentiation we are suggesting. I await the Minister's reply with interest.
