YRTELNO 776 BRITISH UNDERTAKINGS:
HONG KONG RED CROSS
1. THE ADVISORY GROUP MET ON 11 APRIL 1991 AND, INTER ALIA, APPROVED THE HONG KONG RED CROSS AND THE SALVATION ARMY AS BRITISH UNDERTAKINGS ON THE GROUNDS THAT BOTH HAVE A STRONG LINK TO THEIR UK PARENT CAMOUNTING TO THE BRANCH HERE BEING A SUBSIDIARY OF THAT IN THE UK) AND THAT THEIR OPERATIONS ARE MANAGED BY BRITISH CITIZENS. I DOUBT THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO A FLOOD OF OTHER LIKE ORGANISATIONS ASKING TO BE CONSIDERED. IN ANY EVENT FEW WOULD QUALIFY ON A SIMILAR BASIS.
