Confidential

With reference to correspondence ending with your

90

letter of 20th February 1915/22, relative to the Hong

Kong Deportation Ordinance 1921, I am directed by the

Secretary of State for India to state, for the information

of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that he has

consulted the Government of India by telegraph regarding

paragraph (b)-of Section 3 of this Ordinance which

provides for the addition to Sub-section (14) of Section 4

of the principal Ordinance of a paragraph (e) dealin with

the deportation of seditious persons.

for

In reply the Government of India while not objecting to

the deportation provided for by the ordinance press

judicial enquiry in such cases similar to that laid down in

the China (Amendment) Order in Council 1920. In order to

meet the wishes of the Government of India, I am to suggest

for the consideration of Hr.Secretary Churchill that the

proposed ordinance should be modified so as to prescribe a

judicial enquiry and an order by a Court in the cases

referred to.

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial office.

I Am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
