FOREIGN OFFICE

1915.

sir,

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow-

You

ledge the receipt of your letter 33835 of the 4th

instant, enclosing copy of a despatch from the

Governor of Hongkong suggesting an amendment of

the present law as to deportation from the Colony,

with a view to placing it beyond doubt that registra-

tion in a British Consulate in China of a person born

in Hongkong is not in itself a bar to the deportation

of such person from that colony.

I am to say in reply that Sir E. Grey has no

objection to the proposed amendment.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,

sir.

Your most obedient

humble servant,

Wangen
