Mr. Robinson tells me that, strange as it seems,
the P.C. office de deal with the question of Pol-
sons and in that capacity were represented on the
Committee which considered legislation necessary to
carry out the Opium Convention..
So we can refer to them. Otherwise as Kr. Ten-
nyson proposes.

With reference to your letter (39991) of the 27th ultimo respecting the importation of morphis into Hong Kong I am directed by the Secretary for Scotland to state that he observes that the legislation on this subject referred to in your letter under reply operates only within the territory of Hong Kong and he is advised that unless there is any British statute or ordinance prohibiting the export of this drug from this country to Hong Kong no proceedings can be taken against the
consignor in this case.
I am accordingly to enquire whether you can
refer the Secretary for Scotland to any such British
Statute or Ordinance.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am,
sir,
Your obedient Servant,
James M. Dodds
