No (repeat no) information is available here whether similar provisions have been included in contracts in malaya
or elsewhere but nevertheless it is considered that inclusion of euch clause would be imprudent because it will create a precedent which will be extremely difficult to resist, not only in Hong Kong but also in other Colonies, & particularly with regard to Senice departments' contracts in which contractors would undoubtedly press for inclusio of similar provisions.
