copy of a recent correspondence between
the Colonial Office and the National Association for the repeal of the
Contagious Diseases Acts", respecting the
similar Ordinances in Hong Kong
Your Lordship further
informs me that the House of Commons
has pronounced against the system of
the compulsory
examination of women
in the United Kingdom, and that Her Majesty's Government has recalled the
Metropolitan Police who were employed
on this service in the Towns under the
Acts.
It is added that "it is
desirable,
if
there is no
strong reason
for
maintaining the practice in Hong Kong,
to follow the course which has been
resolved upon in this country, while
retaining in the fullest force
the registration and supervision of brothels,
and all parts of the Ordinances which are directed against Brothel Slavery."
Before, however, any decision can be arrived at on the point, you
should
consult the Legislative Council, and
make such enquiries as will be
calculated best to elicit local opinion
