Reasons for the enactment
Under clause (/) of sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Bengal State Aid to Industries Act, 1931 (Bengal Act III of 1931), the Director of Industries is an ex offtcio member of the Board of Industries set up for carrying out the purposes of the Act. The Director of Cottage and Small Scale Industries is not a member of this Board under the provisions of the Act. After the separation of the Directorate of Cottage and Small Scale Industries from that of Industries in the State of West Bengal, it has become extremely difficult for the Director, Cottage and Small Scale Industries, to carry on the admin- istrative functions in respect of the provisions of the Act without his being a member of the Board of Industries.
2. In order to enable the Director, Cottage and Small Scale Industries, to be a member of the Board of Industries, in place of the Director of Industries, it is proposed to amend clause (f) of sub- section (1) of section 3 of the Act suitably.
3. The proposed measure seeks to achieve the above object.
4. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the West Bengal State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1968 (6 of 1968) has been consulted before the enactment of this measure as a President's Act.
