HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL 30th July 1969,

[THE COLONIAL SECRETARY] Statement

This is the outline of the change in policy which we propose to introduce. Detailed administrative arrangements are still being worked out, and it will be necessary for the instructions covering them to go to Executive Council, and for the bill to which I have already made reference to be considered in this Council; also for time to be given for the Secretary of State to promulgate the revised instructions to other British overseas posts.

I would not wish to be tied to a date by which these various pro- cesses can be completed, but I will as I have said announce it as soon as possible after this Council has made its decision on the necessary legislation.

ORDIN

PUBLIC HEALTH AND URBAN SERVICES ORDINANCE

MR B. D. WILSON moved the following resolution:

Resolved, pursuant to section 144 of the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance, that the Abattoirs (Amend- ment) By-laws 1969, made by the Urban Council on the 8th day of July 1969 under section 77 of that Ordinance, be approved.

He said:-Sir, the new abattoir at/Cheung Sha Wan has been completed and it's proposed to start full-scale slaughtering of cattle on 1st August. Slaughtering of pigs will follow later. As the new abattoir is not covered by legislation at present, it's necessary to bring it within the scope of the Abattoirs By-laws, 1968*, by including it in the First Schedule to these By-laws. This is the purpose of the Abattoirs (Amendment) By-laws, 1969, máde by the Urban Council on 8th July under section 77 of the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance.

Question put and agreed to.
