Review of Emergency Legislation: Hong Kong

The attached submission on the above subject was not seen by Lord Shepherd before he left for Hong Kong. In his minute of 27 May Sir Arthur Galsworthy accord- ingly suggested that Mr. Moreton should take a copy of the submission with him to Hong Kong and show it to Lord Shepherd there. Subject to the Minister's endorse- ment of the proposals in the submission, Sir Arthur suggested that Mr. Moreton should use the draft letter attached to the submission as a brief for the talks which Mr. Moreton planned to have with the Governor and his advisers.

2. We have now received from Mr. Moreton a letter in which he suggests that the draft letter attached to the submission should now be sent to the Governor suit- ably modified to take account of the former's discus- sions in the Colony.

We have since received Hong Kong telegram No. 481 from which it is clear that the process of dismantling emergency legislation will be taken a considerable step further on 20 June. I have accordingly slightly modi- fied the original draft letter, as advised by Mr. Moreton, and a copy of the modified draft is attached. The modified draft also takes account of Hong Kong telegram No. 481.
