I beg to move, That this House approves the continuance in force of the Proclamation issued under Section 139 of the Government of Burma Act, 1935, by the Governor of Burma on 17th October, 1945, a copy of which Proclamation was presented on 22nd February, 1946. The reason for this Motion is very straightforward. I think the House will recollect that under legislation passed in 1945 the Governor of Burma was authorised to establish an Executive Council and a Legislative Council to assist him in carrying out his special responsibilities. The Governor was authorised to do so by way of proclamation. Under Section 139 of the Government of Burma Act, 1935, a Proclamation remains in force for a period of only six months, unless it is continued by a Resolution passed by both Houses of Parliament. A Proclamation was, in fact, issued by the Governor in October, 1945. That was followed by Resolutions of Approval in April, 1946, and it is now necessary to continue the Order in Council by passing a Resolution which I am asking the House to do tonight.
