LOCALISATION OF LEGISLATION APPLICABLE TO HONG KONG

за

HKK 045/35

3 1 MAY 1985 1. The problem of localisation of UK legislation applicable

to Hong Kong is one that must be tackled sooner rather than

Later. Mr Chan's proposed action plan (Para 1) seems fine

! as far as it goes, although I think the timescale may

prove to be rather optimistic.

2. I am not aware of any comprehensive list of UK Acts and

Orders in Council applicable to Hong Kong, although I

I suppose it is possible that the legal library may have one.

Compiling one from scratch could be a long job.

3. Para 3 of Mr Chan's letter asks us to tell all other

Whitehall Ministries to consult Hong Kong (through HKD) about

any new legislation or amendments to existing Legislation

that may affect Hong Kong. I imagine this could be difficult

to put into effect. We would probably have to notify other

Seens B.K.✓Ministries through a letter from the PUS to other Permanent

Secretaries.
