Conclusions
7. The draft Bill goes a very long way towards meeting the
criticisms which have been levelled at the Principal Ordinance;
it also ameliorates certain provisions which had previously
been incorporated into the Ordinance from emergency legislation.
Provided that the outstanding points dealt with in the attached
draft Saving Despatch are satisfactorily resolved, it is con-
sidered that approval may now be safely given for the draft
Bill to be enacted by the Hong Kong legislature.
