EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(This memorandum is not part of the Act)

This Act repeals the Tuvalu Pearl Shell Necklaces Act which is seen to be a bar to the chiefly traditions of wearing Pearl Shell Necklaces.

On certain islands of Tuvalu, Pearl Shell Necklaces are made especially for Chiefs. By removing the prohibition against wearing Pearl Shell Necklaces, this tradition may continue.
