Your despatch No.208

Companies Registration.

1.

•

and telegram No. 762

As regards paragraphe 2 and 3 of your

despatch the Difficulties are appreciated of completing the drafting of an Ordinance te dealing with all the problems arising out of the registra- tion of China Companies in Hong Kong, and I am

prepared to leave to you the decision whether the immediate requirements

matter should be dealt with under the Emergency

Registration of Companies Proclamation No.27 and

amendments thereto. I am advised that that

No.27

Proclamation as continued in force and amended by

Ordinance No. 2 of 1946, and regulations made

thereunder, would satisfy the requirements of

Section 2 of Article 4 of the China Order in Council

1943. Accordingly I have no objection to the

continued use of Proclamation and regulations made

thereunder provided you are satisfied that changes

in the organisation of China Companies and other

matters incidental to their registration in Hong

Kong can be adequately dealt with by such

régulations. Failure to secure registration will

result in such a Company ceasing to exist (see

China Order in Council 1943 Article 4 section 3),

and I assume that the discretion conferred under

1

Article of Proclamation No.27 will in general be

/exercised
