Recommendation

2. I recommend that the Secretary of State signify
his approval by signing the final print of the
chalt Stething instrumal L Statutory Instrument annexed making the Hong Kong (Non-
Domiciled Parties) Divorce Rules 1969. The Lord
Chancellor's Office has been consulted and will advise
to give his Chancellor/concurrence,
the Lord Chancellor /concurrence, which must be given
State's approval.

3. The Hong Kong Rules were made in 1936 under the
provisions of the Indian and Colonial Divorce Jurisdic-
tion Act 1926. They have not been amended since enact-
ment and do not reflect the amendments to the Indian
and Colonial Divorce Jurisdiction Act 1940 and the
Colonial and Other Territories (Divorce Jurisdiction)
Act 1950.
4.
news
Practically every provision of the 1936 Rules bas
to be either revoked or modified. It has therefore
been thought preferable to revoke those Rules entirely
and re-enact them with the necessary modification.
