New Towns Bill

New Town and Country -lanning Bill and explanatory Memorandum.

The enclosed draft ordinance was prepared in anticipation of my return to Hong Aong.

I intended to have it typed but when I found that I was not returning to Hong Kong I did nothing further about it. It embodies the recommendations of the Utthwatt Committee and anticipates the new town planning bill, with of course the necessary adaptations to local conditions.
