YOUR TELNO 1665 : CHILD ABDUCTION AND CUSTODY ACT.
1. WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR ENQUIRIES WITH ALL BRANCHES AND DEPARTMENTS CONCERNED. WE CAN FIND NO RECORD OF HINTERNATIONAL KIDNAPPING CASES INVOLVING HK CHILDREN OR OF CHILDREN OF OTHER NATIONALITIES BEING KIDNAPPED AND BROUGHT TO HK. IN VIEW OF THIS AND BECAUSE OF OUR GENERAL RELUCTANCE TO ADD TO OUR EXISTING LIST OF UK LEGISLATION APPLYING TO HONG KONG, WE CONFIRM OUR VIEW THAT THERE IS LITTLE NEED TO EXTEND THE ARRANGEMENTS COVERED BY THE ACT TO HONG KONG.

:
2. WE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE ACT TO HONG KONG AFTER HTS COMING INTO OPERATION, IF HT WERE LATER TO PROVE ADVISABLE TO DO SO.
