Dear Dick.

INDEX

Mr. W.M. Sulke

318

Thank you for your letter of 27th

April. As Bim Davies is away on leave until 24 May, it has been passed to me for a reply.

Mr. Sulke is technically correct :

under the Urban Council Ordinance and the Council's Standing Orders, Members may discuss only those subjects which fall under the Council's jurisdiction. However, by tradition this restriction is waived for the Annual Debate, when with the agreement of the Chairman and Members, any subject may be raised.

Hoare

My

ever

Your

Mr.

(John Chan )

for Secretary (General Duties)
