    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill with a few amendments, more specifically with regard to the definition of “holder” in the interpretations. I am concerned that a holder is described as somebody who is the holder of the receipt defined as a holder to mean a payee or endorsee of a negotiable or non-negotiable warehouse receipt who is in possession of this receipt. I think the Bill must be precise as to how one comes to possess this receipt. Maybe that could be dealt with by regulations, but specified in the Act. Clause 17(3) states that the county executive committee member may grant or refuse to grant a licence to an applicant and may issue a licence subject to any such conditions as it may consider necessary. This is in regard to a licence to be a warehouse operator. It is open ended and it can become the subject of a lot of controversy. It gives almost dictatorial powers to a county executive committee member when it says “subject to conditions that they consider necessary” unless these conditions are subject to regulations. With regard to typing style, in Clause 18, they talk about fires, floods et cetera . I shall forward more of my comments to the Committee before we proceed to the Committee of the whole House. With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support with the suggested amendments. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
