Reference 62920/29.

I have now had an opportunity of submitting to

my Council your letter of 25th ult. and in reply I am instructed

to inform you that in the event of the Bill introducing Regis-

tration of Nurses in Hong Kong being passed and Rules thereunder

made in terms of the drafts submitted by you, my Council would

be likely to agree to a reciprocal scheme with the Hong Kong Nurs

ing Board for the re-registration of Nurses. My Council would

be likely to agree to a scheme in the terms adjusted with other

Nursing Boards in British colonies, namely, that on the footing

that the Hong Kong Board accepts for Registration all Nurses

whose names are on my Council's Register, my Council would be

willing to accept to register here all Nurses on the Register

of the Hong Kong Board.

My Council will, of course, assume that Registra-

tion in the colony will be restricted to Nurses actually residing
