G.M.S.

I have just received from the Colonial Office

the enclosed summary of the proposed amendments

to the Factories Act (enclosure 4).

They are of course confidential and are subject

to amendments and additions, but as they differ

only in detail from the anticipations outlined

in my report I am enclosing them without further

comment.

I have applied to H.M.Stationery Office for a

copy of the general prescriptions issued by the

Gas Referees, referred to in para. 2. of my report

so as to complete the record of the existing

regulations imposed on the Gas Industry in this

country.

I must mention how indebted we are to Mr. G. E.J.

Gent, and other officials of the Colonial office

and the Home Office for their co-operation and

the unfailing assistance they have readily given.

I have addressed a letter in these terms to Mr. Gent,

and such an expression from the Hong Kong Government

would be appreciated.
