Express provision for search would have been more logical.

In practice section 8 of the Ordinance under report and section 9(1)(c) of the Importation and Exportation Ordinance, 1915, afford

the requisite cover.

It is not considered that there can possibly be any ambiguity

about this.

Exhaustive provisions are made by the Quarantine and Prevention

of Disease Ordinance, 1936, which is linked with the Ordinance under report by virtue of section 11(1)(k).

Persons are often repatriated via Hong Kong, e.g. from Malaya and Singapore. See also the definition of "immigrant".

Agreed.

The comment is noted. It is however submitted that it is clear

section 33(1) it is also an offence not to supply copies of such

lists.

deal with this by exemption.

It is usual in Hong Kong so to provide, The Immigration

Officer will of course have explained his point of view before the

hearing of the appeal. The provision is, it is submitted, a

salutary one and to some extent counteracts the objection that the

appeal should be heard by a magistrate.
