QUESTION ASKED BY
HON MARTIN BARROW IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ON 6 MAY 1992
Does the Hong Kong Government agree that the practice of
requiring the Governor to wear a plumed hat and sword on certain public ceremonial occasions is anachronistic and no longer
appropriata to the circumstances of Hong Kong; if so, will it advise the British Government accordingly?
ANSWER BY THE CHIEF SECRETARY
The new Governor will no doubt take into account views
expressed about the appropriate style of dress which he should wear on public ceremonial occasions.
