And whereas by section 5 of the said Act it is provided that the said appointed day shall be the first day of January, nineteen 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, 1909, 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 Belgium 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 427 to 431 of the principal Act shall not apply to any Belgian ship while within any port of the United Kingdom, if it is proved that the aforesaid Belgian provisions relating to life-saving appliances are complied with in the case of that ship.
