S- 85

 what my views were on this natter in Executive Council. The matter was passed
 by the majority, but I was not-in favour orf dropping payment by inrttalments. I
 am still of opinion that reconsideration should be given to the views put forward
 by the Honourable Mt/ember for South Windward and instead of allowing 30-days
 for payment, make it 14 days and still grant the installment concession, particularly
 'to parents whorhave two or more children at school. I am prepared to support any
S. motion put forward by the Honourable Member for Sotth Windward to amend
 these Regulations.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown- Your Honour, I too would like to join
 issue in this matter. I think the instalment system is a facility which should not
 be withdrawn from people who have to pay for their children attending secondary
 schools, and I should like to move the following addition to Regulation 21 (a)
 payable in monthly instalmentswhen two or more children of one household
 attend the school."
 Honourable-E. A. C. Hughes: I should remind Honourable Members that
 these are rules made by the Executive Council, and only placed before Legislative
 Council for approval. We can either approve or reject the rules, but we cannot
 take upon ourselves the yoke-of Executive Council and proceed to make rules.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown: -I fail to see why we cannot make-rules
 when we have power to approve amendments to these same rules.
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes: Let us say then thaf we do not accept the
 Regulations- as they stand, and recommend that new regulations be made.
 SHonoukable Member for South Windward : I'beg to move that these rules be.
 referred back to Executive Council.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : I beg to second the motion.
 President : I now-call upon the Honourable Member for Kingstown to make
 -such recommendations to Executive Council as he would like made.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : I will suggest the necessary amendments
 in Executive Council.
 Motion proposed by Mr. Bonadie and seconded .by Mr. Brisbane "that these
 Regulations be rejected-" foted on as follows :
 5 for
 3 against.
 2 abstentions
 President : Are there any other recommendations you wish to make? -
 Honourable ieiember for South Windward : I don't like the word "rejected "
 -I prefer the wording that these regulations be referred back to Executive
 Council for the purpose of retaining the installment principle."
S. President: I now call upon the Honourable Crown Attorney to move the
 Ssrcond motion standing in his name.
 I-onourable Crowfi Attorney :- In the light of the decision on the first motion,
 and as the second motion dealing with the Girls' High School is identical, I presume
 it is Honourable Mem.ers' wish that similar action be taken- as in the previous
 motion. -
 Question as to whether the St. Vincent Girls' High School (Amendment)
 g Rgulatio's should be referred back to Executive Council put and agreed to.
