(2) Without prejudice to the generality of the powers conferred by the
foregoing sub-section, regulations made thereunder may make provision for all
or any of the following matters, that is to say:

(a)for requiring and regulating the use by collectors, of prescribed badges
and prescribed certificates of authority, and the issue, custody, production
and return thereof, and, in particular, for requiring collectors on demand by
a police constable or by any occupant of a house visited to produce their
certificates of authority;

(b)in the case of collections in respect of which licences have been granted,
for requiring that the prescribed certificates of authority of the collectors
shall be authenticated in a manner approved by the county inspector of police
for the area in respect of which the licence was granted, and that their
prescribed badges shall have inserted therein or annexed thereto in a manner
and form so approved a general indication of the purpose of the collection;

(c)for prohibiting persons below a prescribed age from acting, and others from
causing them to act, as collectors;

(d)for preventing annoyance to the occupants of houses visited by collectors;

(e)for requiring the prescribed information with respect to the expenses,
proceeds and application of the proceeds of collections to be furnished, in
the case of collections in respect of which licences have been granted, by the
person to whom the licence was granted to the county inspector of police by
whom it was granted, and, in the case of collections in respect of which an
order has been made, by the person thereby exempted from the provisions of
sub-section (2) of section one of this Act to the Ministry of Home Affairs,
and for requiring the information furnished to be vouched and authenticated in
such manner as may be prescribed.

(3) Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with the provisions of a
regulation made under this Act shall be guilty of an offence.

(4) Any regulations made under this Act shall be laid before Parliament as
soon as may be after they are made, and if either House of Parliament, within
the statutory period next after any such regulations have been laid before it,
resolves that the regulations be annulled, the regulations shall thereupon
become void, without prejudice, however, to anything previously done
thereunder or to the making of new regulations.
