HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
The object of the present bill is to remedy these defects. It pro- poses to insert in the principal Ordinance in place of the present section 12 a new section which will provide that where the Governor is satisfied that reciprocal provisions have been made by any British possession or protectorate for the enforcement of main- tenance orders made in Hong Kong he may extend the principal Ordinance to such possession or protectorate and that thereupon the Ordinance shall apply as though the references to England or Ireland were references to such possession or protectorate and the references to the Secretary of State for the Colonies were references to the Governor of such possession or protectorate. The draft of this part of the new section 12 was supplied by the Secretary of State.
2. Section 3 of this Ordinance is intended to give proclama- tions already made under the present section 12 the same effect as if they had been made under the new section 12.
