Explanatory Note.
The Registration of Persons Ordinance was enacted in August, 1949, to meet the need for legislation enabling a register of persons to be kept and providing for individual identification. The primary objective of that legislation was to aid any measures which may from time to time be found necessary for the maintenance of law and order and for the distribution of supplies and food or other commodities. The obligation of registration was imposed on all persons except that exemption was given from the requirement in the case of members of His Majesty's forces, the Hong Kong Police Force, bona fide travellers in transit and children under the age of 12 years.
2. Registration under the Ordinance named has since its enactment proceeded and at this date approximately one million persons have been so registered and provided with identity cards. Nevertheless, registration is not yet complete. Furthermore, the particulars required for the purpose of registration under the Ordinance are limited in extent.
3. It is therefore considered, in the light of conditions now prevailing throughout the world, that further measure of preparedness by way of registration should be undertaken, so that record may exist in particular of all persons in the Colony who are British subjects. Further, that within that category more detailed information be afforded. then registration under the Registration of Persons Ordinance provides, regarding the qualifications of British subjects resident in the Colony whose services, by reason of their previous experience or other specialized knowledge, would, in the event of serious emergency, be of special value to assist in the maintenance of the security and general welfare of the Colour.
4. In these circumstances the above regulations, entitled the Emergency (Registration of British Subjects) Regulations, 1951, have been enacted by the Governor la Council under section 2 of the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1922.
