LONDON S.W.1

14th March, 1930.

With reference to your letter (72765/30) of the

4th March, transmitting a copy of the Hong Kong Companies

Amendment Ordinance, 1929, I am directed by the Board of

Trade to state, for the information of Lord Passfield,

that they have no observations to make on Clause 2 of

the Ordinance, but with regard to Clause 3, which appears

to be founded upon the provisions of Sections 34 and 35

of the Companies (Consolidation) Act, 1908, I am to

point out that Section 34 was amended by the Companies

Act, 1928, and the notices required to be sent to the

Registrar are now under Section 103 of the Companies Act,

1929, to be sent within 14 days of the opening of the

office or the change or discontinuance as the case may

be. A penalty for default in complying with this

Subsection has also been inserted in the 1929 Act, and

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

S.W.1.
