Dear Gent,

Many thanks for your letter of the 18th September,

(3704/3/37) about the Hong Kong Pharmacy and Poisons

Ordinance of 1937. In an earlier official letter of the

53830 11th August, under reference 53830/37, you communicated

1/85007/16

to us the same Ordinance and certain other relevant

enclosures for our observations. In that connection, I

should like to refer to a letter addressed by Perrins to Allen on the 15th January, 1936 (your reference 85062/35)

in which it was explained that we are not in a position to

undertake in general to "vet" Colonial poisons laws, though

we should, of course, always be glad to attempt to advise on

any specific point which might be put to us.

I enclose, however, a note on a particular point in the

Poisons provisions of the Ordinance, not by way of any

suggestion that it should be made a ground of objection, but

in case you may think it worth while to communicate it to the

G.E.J. Gent, Esq., D.S.O., O.B.E., c

Colonial Office.
