No. 391.
Sir,
RECEIVE
12 JUL1937,
C. REGL
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG,
7th June, 1937.
Enclosure 1.
Enclosure 2.
With reference to Sir Andrew Caldecott's
531830 despatch, with enclosures, No. 658 of 26th November,
1936, I have the honour to inform you that the
Director of Medical Services has strongly recommended
the enforcement of compulsory pasteurization of all
milk sold in the Colony, as a result of which the
Urban Council on 11th May, 1937, passed a by-law on
this subject of which I enclose a copy.
2.
It will be observed that the by-law gives
ample notice to enable small dairies to set up
pasteurization plants.
3.
Before this by-law had been submitted to
the Legislative Council for approval, the Honourable
Mr. M. K. Lo, Chinese Unofficial Member of Legislative
Council, gave notice of certain questions to be asked
in Council of which I forward a full copy.
4.
As a consequence of these representations
I decided, with the unanimous approval of my Executive
Council, that further action should be deferred
until more was known of the findings of the Committee
mentioned in Mr. Lo's second question; and I shall
be glad to have any information which is available
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
W.G.A.ORMSBY-GORE, P.C., M.P.,
