Hon. Mr. P. H, Holyoak.

MOTION.

That the following resolution be forwarded to the Secretary of State :-

That having regard to the announcement by the Press that an "Adrisory Body" has been appointed by the Secre- tary of State for the Colonies to advise and enquire into the "Maisons tolérées " and Social Hygiene" in Hongkong amongst other places, the Unofficial Mem- bers of this Council welcome any enquiry which has the object of improving the conditions of life in and uphold- ing the good name of the British Empire and Colonial Possessions, but resent the fact that the inclusion of Hongkong in this enquiry should have resulted from malicious, misleading and exaggerated representations to the Government which have been widely circulated in England for some time pust.
