HONGKONG BILL
11 December 1984
You may like to see the latest version of this Bill which is likely
to go to Legislation Committee early in the new year.
The only
part that may interest you is I think paragraph 3(2) of the
Schedule. This enables us to make any necessary adjustments of
United Kingdom law and of the law of dependent territories other
than Hongkong.
For the definition of "enactment" see paragraph 1.
For what it is worth, this should cover Acts of the Parliament
of Northern Ireland and Measures of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
In view of the wording of paragraph 3(2) I see no need for an
express extent provision.
