Sir,
I
am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain
to transmit to you herewith copies of correspondence with
His Majesty's Consul-General at Yunnanfu respecting the
validity after marriage of a passport issued to an unmarried
WOMAN.
You will observe that it is stated in the ante-
penultimate paragraph that information was given to an applicant by the Colonial Secretary's Office at Hongkong to the effect that the old passport could still be used provided
that the holder added a specimen of her married signature.

The correct requirements in such cases are set forth
in the reply which has been returned to Mr. Tours, and I am
to request that, unless Mr. Secretary Amery sees any
objection to such a course, they may be brought to the
notice of the Colonial Secretary at Hongkong.
I Bill,
sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Law.
1e Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
