(c) Accommodation for Vietnamese Refugees
The Attorney General informed the Council
that it was intended to activate section 67
of the Emergency Regulations Ordinance in
order formally to requisition the factory
at Tuen Mun to be used to accommodate
Vietnamese refugees. He said that the
rent originally agreed with the owner
would be paid in compensation and explained
why it was advisable to requisition the
property.
(d) Vote of Thanks
The Governor noted that the Attorney
General was attending the Council for the

rendered service of immense value to the

he would be greatly missed both as legal
adviser and personally. Sir Y.K. Kan said
on behalf of his Unofficial colleagues
that he wished to associate himself
fully with the Governor's words.
The meeting concluded at 12.25 p.m.
