Report No. 64

5.13. Recommendation to amend section 4(2), main paragraph.-

Having dealt with the controversy created by the proviso to section 4(2), we would also record our view that it is desirable to avoid all future debate as to the scope of section 4(2). To avoid further controversy, therefore, we recommend that in section 4(2), opening line, after the words "any person", the words "over the age of eighteen years" should be inserted.
