SUBJECT:
COLONIAL REGULATIONS
1. When we met in Fondon last month, you raised the ques- tion of a revision of Colonial Regulations, to form the model for the Gibraltar Regulations which you plan to issue.
2. I am afraid that there is no prospect of HKGD's being
able to take on the considerable burden of work that would
be involved in a major revision of Colonial Regulations. We are looking into the possibility that some other depart- ment might be able to do it, but I am not at all optmistic that it will prove possible.
3. What we shall probably have to come back to therefore is to ask each territory to produce its own Regulations to providing the working rules for its own Government to follow This is of course very much what you had in mind. I realise that you would have found it easier to do this working from revised and updated Colonial Regulations. I hope that in practice you will find it does not cause much additional work to use the existing model. We shall
of course be very ready to help with advice on any specific problems which occur to you.
