2. It is also desired to provide a similar exemption in respect of buildings of somewhat larger dimensions, provided such buildings conform to standard plans which are to apply in the New Territories. Regulation 3(2)(a) makes such provision.

3. The remainder of these regulations are virtually a re-enactment of current regulations which it bas been found more convenient to revoke than to amend.
