unless they are issued on behalf of another
Government. No change in these requirements has
been effected by the enactment of this Ordinance.
However the Ordinance does, inter alia,
facilitate the removal from the Colony of persons
(including citizens of the United Kingdom and
Colonies who are not belongers of Hong Kong) who
misbehave or whose behaviour is not, in the opinion
of the Governor in Council, conducive to the public
good.
In certain cases involving the removal or
deportation from Hong Kong of United Kingdom
belongers, the Ordinance provides for an enquiry
by a Deportation Tribunal consisting of a President
(who must be a judge) and two members.
This
Tribunal would make recommendations to the Governor
or Governor in Council as the case might be before
decisions whether to remove or deport were taken.
However no such enquiry is required under the
Ordinance in cases where a court has recommended
deportation, or where the Governor certifies that
deportation or exclusion from the Colony is desirable
on the grounds of the security of Hong Kong or for
political reasons affecting the relations of Her
Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom with`
another country.
Under the previous Hong Kong legislation
dealing with the deportation of British subjects,
7 years was the qualifying period of residence
