HONG KONG IMMIGRATION ORDINANCE
6.
As to reference to the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance,
it is considered bad practice to relate UK law directly to the
laws of a Dependent Territory, which may be changed without
reference to the UK Parliament. Furthermore, the Immigration
Ordinance will not stand beyond 30 June 1997, whereas this Order
is intended to remain in effect indefinitely. It would not be
appropriate to have to refer after 1997 to an Ordinance which
was no longer extant.
