Dear Gent,

Whitelegge has sent me copies of the Hong

Kong Pharmacy and Poisons Ordinance, 1937, and of

the correspondence on the subject. I am afraid,

however, that we are in the same position as the

Home Office and not qualified to criticise

Colonial legislation.

Part I of the Ordinance

follows largely Part I of the Poisons and

Pharmacy Act, 1933, with which we are concerned,

but the modifications which have been made seem

designed to adapt the provisions to local

conditions of which we have no knowledge.

Yours sincerely,

Filiadatter

G.4.J. Gent, Esq., D.S.O., 0.B.E., M.C., COLONIAL OFFICE.
