.....as the repeal of certain British statutes is concerned. As respects the recommendations relating to the replacement of certain British statutes by Acts of Parliament, the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958. has already replaced all the British statutes on that subject and many of the remaining Acts are under separate examination. 2. The reasons for repealing most of the British statutes are contained in the comments of the Commission in Appendix II at pp. 33-84 of its Fifth Report. The present Bill, however, includes a few British statutes which the Fifth Report has listed in Appendix III as statutes with respect to which legislation in India appears to be prima facie necessary. The examination of these Acts has revealed that they may also be repealed. The notes explain the reasons for including such statutes in the present Bill. 3.
