QUESTIONS
Kr. Kwan Cho-yiu, pursuant to notice, will ask the following
question :-
At the last Budget Debate I raised the question that the New Territorias Ordinance should be amended, with particular reference to sections 27, 28 and 29 thereof, which unne- cessarily restrict the form of conveyance and mortgage in respect of land in the New Territories, and la his reply my Q : hopcurable Friend the Colonial Georetary assured me that
Government already had auch a proposal under consideration and that it was hoped to submit an appropriate bill to this Council in the near future. May I be informed as to what is the present position regarding the proposed amendment of the said Ordinance ?
Meanwhile, may I suggest that administrative action be taken
by Government to reduce the red tape as much as possible for the giving of the approval of form of mortgage when submitted for approval. Considerable time will be saved, if the Land Officer, who actually approves the form be authorised to comnuulcate direct with the party submitting the form for approval, instead of through a District Officer in the New Territoriea,
