Bill now proposed by the British side is introduced, provisions will
be included in the Bill to disapply the 1967 Order in respect of
offences specified in the localising Ordinance and to bring such
offences within the scope of the localised fugitive offenders
legislation. If such legislation is not in place when the
localising Bill is introduced, the Bill will, as a temporary
measure, include a saving for relevant provisions of the 1967 Order.
Future adaptation
9.
Nearer to 1997 certain amendments to the localising
Ordinance will be required to ensure it does not contravene the
Basic Law. The British side will in due course consult the Chinese
side on any such amendments in accordance with the agreed principles
for consultation on adaptation of laws.
