Provided that His Majesty may by Order in Council direct that those provisions shall not apply to any ship of a foreign country in which the provisions in force relating to life-saving appliances appear to His Majesty to be as effective as the provisions of Part V of the principal Act, on proof that those provisions are complied with in the case of that ship:

And whereas by section five of the said Act it is provided that the said appointed day shall be the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and nine, or such other day, not being more than twelve months later, as the Board of Trade may appoint:

And whereas the Board of Trade have appointed the first day of October, one thousand nine hundred and nine, to be the day after which the provisions of the principal Act relating to life-saving appliances shall apply to all foreign ships while they are within any port of the United Kingdom as they apply to British ships:

And whereas it appears to His Majesty that the provisions in force in France relating to life-saving appliances are as effective as the provisions of Part V of the principal Act:

Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, is pleased to direct that the provisions of sections four hundred and twenty-seven to four hundred and thirty-one of the principal Act shall not apply to any French ship while within any port of the United Kingdom if it is proved that the aforesaid French provisions relating to life-saving appliances are complied with in the case of that ship.
