1955, and shall be read as one with the Interpre- shies
tation of Laws Ordinance, 1896, as amended, 3/1938,

hereinafter called the Principal Ordinance. eanes

* 2. Section 18 of the Principal Ordinance is Amendment
hereby amended by the substitution of the cues
following paragraphs for paragraphs (6) and (7) pel Ordinance.

thereof :—

“(6) The expression “Governor”
shall mean the officer for the time being
administering the Government of the Presi-
dency and shall include the Administrator
of Antigua when he is administering the
Government of the Presidency ;

7) The expression “Governor in

Seal of the United Kingdom, by any Order
of Her Majesty in Council or by Instructions
under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet,
the Governor acting with the advice of
the Executive Council of the Presidency,
and, to such an extent as may be provided

No. of 1955. = Interpretation of Laws 3 ANTIGUA.
(Amendment)

OBJECTS AND REASONS.

The definition of “Governor” inserted in the Principal
Ordinance by the amending Ordinance No, 16/1953 when
read with the last three lines of Article 9 (1) of the Letters
Patent of 1953 means that “ the Governor” in Presidential
Legislation always means the Administrator, unless the
Governor of the Colony happens to be in the Presidency
and directs that the Administrator shall not administer the
Government. It was not intended that the Governor of
the Colony should be so completely excluded from the affairs
of the Presidency. The intention is that the Administrator
shall now exercise all the powers of the Governor subject to
the limitation imposed by Article 9 (6)(a) of the Leeward
Islands Letters Patent, 1953. a

The definition of “Governor in Council” accords with
the intention that the Governor shall now act in accordance
with the advice of the Executive Council of the Presidency
save as otherwise provided in the instruments mentioned in
the definition. This change will take place on the coming

into operation of the Ministerial System in the Presidency.
Pp y 3

“The words “but not necessarily in such Council
assembled” will enable decisions of Executive Council to be
taken by means of the circulation of papers.

These amendments have been made as a result of
suggestions made by the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Passed the Legislative Council this
day of 1955. :
Clerk of the Council.

OBJECTS AND REASONS.



The object of the Bill is to effect the necessary amend-
ments to the Principal Ordinance consequent ‘on the introduc: -
tion of the Ministerial System under which the Executive
Council will contain four members elected by the elected and
nominated members of the Legislative Council of whom three
will be charged with ministerial functions. The Executive
Council thus becomes the principal instrument of policy and
the elected members of the Executive Council are in a clear
majority since the Governor and the Administrator have only
a casting vote.

2. Clause 3 of the Bill provices for the duration of the
life of the Legislative Council being extended from three to
five years as is usnally the case in the more advanced constitu-
tions.

3. Clause 4 amends section 31 of the Principal Ordinance
which deals with the Governor's legislative reserved power.
Now that the Executive Council is the principal instrument of
policy, it is necessary to provide that the’ Governor shall not
invoke his reserved power without first submitting to the
Executive Council the question whether the power should be
used.



No. of 1955. Antigua Constitution and 5 ANTIQUA.
Elections (Amendment).

4. The amended Letters Patent provide that the
Governor or Administrator shall consult with the Ixecutive
Council in the formulation of policy and in the exercise of all
functions conferred by any law except functions conferred by
any existing law when these functions are not required by the
law to be exercised by the Governor in Council. The Letters
Patent, however, exclude the Constitution and Elections Ordi-
nance from this provision. The result would therefore be that
the Governor or the Administrator would have to consult with
the Executive Council concerning the exercise of all the func-
tions conferred by the Ordinance. It is not, however, desirable
that the Governor or the Administrator should be required to
consult with the Executive Council with respect to the purely
administrative functions provided by the Ordinance. This
makes it necessary to amend the Ordinance specifically to pro-
vide that the Governor or the Administrator may act in his
discretion when carrying out such administrative functions.
Clause 5 of the Bill seeks to effect this amendment and hence
it is that it mentions all those sections of the Principal Ordi-
nance which relate to such administrative functions.

* 2. Section 18 of the Principal Ordinance is Amendment
hereby amended by the substitution of the cues
following paragraphs for paragraphs (6) and (7) pel Ordinance.

thereof :—

administering the Government of the Presi-
dency and shall include the Administrator
of Antigua when he is administering the

Seal of the United Kingdom, by any Order
of Her Majesty in Council or by Instructions
under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet,
the Governor acting with the advice of
the Executive Council of the Presidency,

Clerk of the Council.
No. of 1955. = Interpretation of Laws 3 ANTIGUA.
(Amendment)

OBJECTS AND REASONS.

The definition of “Governor” inserted in the Principal
Ordinance by the amending Ordinance No, 16/1953 when
read with the last three lines of Article 9 (1) of the Letters
Patent of 1953 means that “ the Governor” in Presidential
Legislation always means the Administrator, unless the
Governor of the Colony happens to be in the Presidency
and directs that the Administrator shall not administer the
Government. It was not intended that the Governor of
the Colony should be so completely excluded from the affairs
of the Presidency. The intention is that the Administrator
shall now exercise all the powers of the Governor subject to
the limitation imposed by Article 9 (6)(a) of the Leeward
Islands Letters Patent, 1953. a

The definition of “Governor in Council” accords with
the intention that the Governor shall now act in accordance
with the advice of the Executive Council of the Presidency
save as otherwise provided in the instruments mentioned in
the definition. This change will take place on the coming

into operation of the Ministerial System in the Presidency.
Pp y 3

“The words “but not necessarily in such Council
assembled” will enable decisions of Executive Council to be
taken by means of the circulation of papers.

These amendments have been made as a result of
suggestions made by the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Passed the Legislative Council this
day of 1955. :
Clerk of the Council.

OBJECTS AND REASONS.



The object of the Bill is to effect the necessary amend-
ments to the Principal Ordinance consequent ‘on the introduc: -
tion of the Ministerial System under which the Executive
Council will contain four members elected by the elected and
nominated members of the Legislative Council of whom three
will be charged with ministerial functions. The Executive
Council thus becomes the principal instrument of policy and
the elected members of the Executive Council are in a clear
majority since the Governor and the Administrator have only
a casting vote.

2. Clause 3 of the Bill provices for the duration of the
life of the Legislative Council being extended from three to
five years as is usnally the case in the more advanced constitu-
tions.

3. Clause 4 amends section 31 of the Principal Ordinance
which deals with the Governor's legislative reserved power.
Now that the Executive Council is the principal instrument of
policy, it is necessary to provide that the’ Governor shall not
invoke his reserved power without first submitting to the
Executive Council the question whether the power should be
used.
No. of 1955. Antigua Constitution and 5 ANTIQUA.
Elections (Amendment).

4. The amended Letters Patent provide that the
Governor or Administrator shall consult with the Ixecutive
Council in the formulation of policy and in the exercise of all
functions conferred by any law except functions conferred by
any existing law when these functions are not required by the
law to be exercised by the Governor in Council. The Letters
Patent, however, exclude the Constitution and Elections Ordi-
nance from this provision. The result would therefore be that
the Governor or the Administrator would have to consult with
the Executive Council concerning the exercise of all the func-
tions conferred by the Ordinance. It is not, however, desirable
that the Governor or the Administrator should be required to
consult with the Executive Council with respect to the purely
administrative functions provided by the Ordinance. This
makes it necessary to amend the Ordinance specifically to pro-
vide that the Governor or the Administrator may act in his
discretion when carrying out such administrative functions.
Clause 5 of the Bill seeks to effect this amendment and hence
it is that it mentions all those sections of the Principal Ordi-
nance which relate to such administrative functions.
