My Lords agree with the Secretary of State of late, that provision should be made in the new Hongkong Ordinance to save the issue of one dollar notes by the Bank, subject to existing restrictions or limitations.

It is difficult to act now for certain provisions should be found in one Ordinance but should be wanting in other Ordinance.
