the Governor, and the Governor may at any time revoke any appointment made
by him."
Subsection (7) has been amended by the deletion of the word nominations and
substituting therefore resignations and appointments."

 President: The Governor appoints three members and the Board appoints
two members.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown: .That would mean the Kingstown

which reads as follows :-
 "Should a vacancy occur among the members of the Committee through
death, resignation or otherwise, the Governor, or the Board, as the case may be,
may appoint another person to fill the vacancy so created."
 President: Have these amendments been fully understood by Honourable
Members?
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : The only thing I would like to comment
on is how zealous this Chairman of the Board is in giving the Board power now
and he wanted to take all the power away when he was not a member of the
Committee.
