Dear Mr Barton,
COLONIAL PRISONERS REMOVAL ACT
Greg Phillpotts has passed on to me a copy of your letter of 15 December to Major Newberry, as I am responsible for the 1884 Act here. I can confirm that we are content with the arrangements set out in the Hong Kong memorandum, which are broadly on the lines of existing arrangements. Perhaps,
however, I could mention that we would not necessarily expect precisely analogous procedures to apply as and when the 1984 Repatriation of Prisoners Act is extended to Hong Kong.
Yours sincerely, Jothan Duke-Evas
