Dear Gent,
Many thanks for your letter of the 18th September,
(3704/3/37) about the Hong Kong Pharmacy and Poisons
Ordinance of 1937. In an earlier official letter of the
53830 11th August, under reference 53830/37, you communicated
1/85007/16
35
37
to us the same Ordinance and certain other relevant
enclosures for our observations. In that connection, I
should like to refer to a letter addressed by Perrins to Allen on the 15th January, 1936 (your reference 85062/35)
in which it was explained that we are not in a position to
undertake in general to "vet" Colonial poisons laws, though
we should, of course, always be glad to attempt to advise on
any specific point which might be put to us.
I enclose, however, a note on a particular point in the
Poisons provisions of the Ordinance, not by way of any
suggestion that it should be made a ground of objection, but
in case you may think it worth while to communicate it to the
G.E.J. Gent, Esq., D.S.O., O.B.E., c
Colonial Office.
