FURTHER ACTION.

Copy to Mountain (24)

Dear Ram,

I enclose copies of

correspondence which we have exchanged

with the Ministry of War Transport

regarding the draft of an Order in

Council which we propose to submit in

order to secure the transfer to

authorities in this country (the

S. of S. and the Minister of Var

Transport) of functions exercisable by

the Governor of Hong Kong. A similar, And somewhat more complicated)

/draft Order in Council is in

preparation to permit transfer (of the

functions of the Governor of the

Straits Settlements in similar fashion

You will see that the

Ministry of War Transport have

suggested that Parliamentary Counsel

Consulted about

should be given the opportunity of

seeing the draft, and we would be

grateful if you could let us know as

soon as possible whether you have any

comments on it.

I
