13. Part III of the Act of 1932 is general and comple- mentary to the provisions of both Parts I and II. It will be extended therefore to the Colony by Order of His Majesty in Council.
14. The extension of the provisions of the Act of 1932, to the Colony of Hong Kong by Order in Council will neces- sitate many of the exceptions, adaptations and modifications, referred to in sections 36 and 64 and possibly also the repeal or amendment of some of the provisions of the local Ordinances.
15. It is understood that Part II of the Act, dealing with Load Line and Loading, will be extended to the Colony before Part I, dealing with Safety of Life at Sea, is so extended. This Amending Bill has been prepared with a view to indicating the amendments in the principal Ordinance which are considered necessary when Part II of the Act is extended to the Colony by Order in Council under section 64.
16. When Part I of the Act is extended to the Colony by Order in Council under section 36 it will probably be necessary to repeal or amend other provisions in Parts III and IV of Ordinance No. 10 of 1899 as well as Table A in the Schedule to that Ordinance.
January, 1934.
