Arrangements etc) are no longer really applicable in Hong Kong's case. However, it would be quite an onerous task to decide which of the CRS should be included and how to go about organising those regulations which are still needed. If you think that the idea is a plausible one, do you think that it would be possible to deal with all the provisions relating to, for example, Appointments, Acting Appointments, Seniority, Salaries and Allowances in one general clause stating that the Secretary of State has empowered the Governor to make local regulations relating to these matters and they are included in the HKG's CSRs? Or do you think that it would still be necessary to set down the provisions relating to such areas as they appear in the CRS at present, but excluding all those paragraphs which are now irrelevant?

Dear Nigel,
Colonial Regulations
Colonial
I had some correspondence with Bridget Paris à little while ago about the reprinting of Regulations. We supplied copies of the various Hong Kong additions in recent years. The aim being to eventually incorporate all these amendments into the reprint ordered by
WIAD.
We have subsequently given some further thought to this subject and the way forward. Basically there are presently three "types" of Colonial Regulations applicable to Hong Kong.
(a)
those such as the new CR 93 (direction to retire under a compensation scheme) which will lapse when Colonial Regulations lapse in 1997 and do not need to be replicated in local SARG legislation or regulations;
(b)
those such as the Disciplinary Regulations which will need to be included in new SARG legislation or regulations so that they will continue beyond 1997; and
(C)
those covering appointment which are already also
and promotion spelt out in our

apart from CR 93, which will lapse in 1997 we thus envisage Regulations covering discipline and little else.
I appreciate that members of HMOCS will remain under the ultimate authority of the Secretary of State until 30 June 1997 and that we shall need to have regard to this point until then.
However I should be grateful for your advice on
possibility of localising "HK Colonial covering largely disciplinary matters as set out
