Report No. 43

7.71. Section 6(1)(b)-verbal changes recommended.-

Clause (b) of section 6(1) punishes a person who makes any false statement, for the above purpose, orally or "in writing in any declaration or application" or in any document signed by the offender. The quoted words are, in our view, unnecessary, as the word 'document' would cover writing in a declaration or in an application. We, therefore, propose to omit them.
