Mr Rushfor Legal Advisers
HONG KONG: NEW TERRITORIES LEASES:
DRAFT ORDER IN COUNCIL
1. I attach the Governor's comments (in Hong Kong telegram No 978) on our revised version of the saving clause (FCO telegram No 454 to Hong Kong).
2. The Governor's suggestion is, like Clause 3, drafted in a somwhat circular fashion. But it appears to do the job. Can you see any legal objection to it?
3.
Have we yet had any indication of the Attorney-General's views on the draft Order in Council?
