safeguard?
Should the Government of any Dependent

Majesty's Government would of course give the matter
careful and sympathetic consideration.
2.
3.
Is there an Ombudsman in any Dependent
Territory?
No.
Has the possibility of appointing an
Ombudsman in any Dependent Territory ever
been considered?
Yes, in Hong Kong. In 1969 when this was first
considered it was the view of the Hong Kong Government
that steps should first be taken to strengthen
existing machinery to enable the people of Hong Kong
to make their views and grievances known.
It was
therefore decided to appoint in addition to the City
District Officer a person of local standing to act as
a receiving point for representations from members of
and the public who could make any enquiries he considered
necessary from the relevant Government Department.
