Mr Rushford (Legal Advisers)
HONG KONG IMMIGRATION BILL
1.
I should be grateful for your views on the proposals in Hong Kong telegram No 722 (a copy is attached for convenience). My own inclination is to accept both amendments now proposed by the Governor. Do you agree?
2. I shall have to submit recommendations to higher authority and in view of the deadline of 6 October I should be grateful if you could let me have your comments as soon as possible.
