Explanatory Note,

(This Note is not part of the Order, but is intended to indicate its pexeral purport).

1. This Order replaces the firing areas set forth in the existing Schedule to the Defences (Firing Areas) Ordinance, Chapter 198, with amended firing areas, and adds a new firing area, Firing Area E to cover the Kal Tak Rifle Range.

2. Firing Areas A and 8 approximately correspond with the old Firing Area B which is now divided into two parts to enable firing to take place over one part leaving the other part open to navigation. Firing Areas C and D are the same respectively as the former Firing Areas A and C. Firing Area E is a new firing area, Kai Tak Rifle Range.
