Mid Whom gey POINT TAKEN. WE ARE AMENDING & SCHEDULE" TO READ ORDINANCE"". Leg.pot.
1. MANY THANKS FOR THESE HELPFUL COMMENTS. OUR CONCLUSIONS ARE:
1
(11) AGREED. WE ARE ADDING DEPENDENTS TO THE SCHEDULE'S PARAGRAPH 7 AND DELETING THEM FROM PARAGRAPH 9(1). WE ARE ALSO ADDING A DEFINITION OF 'DEPENDENT'' (AS MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES FORMING PART OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD IN HONG KONG'') PROBABLY TO PARAGRAPH 2. **DEPENDENTS' WILL THEN ALSO REPLACE THE LONGER FORM IN PARAGRAPH 5(1) OF THE ORDINANCE.

(V) AGREED. WE ARE DELETING (VI) AGREED. WE ARE DELETING (VII) ON DEPENDENTS SEE (11) ABOVE. ON TAKING ALL APPROPRIATE
MEASURES TO PREVENT ANY ATTACK ETC.'' WE SEE NO NEED TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE ORDINANCE. WE ALREADY HAVE THE NECESSARY POWERS FOR THE EXECUTIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT TO IMPLEMENT THIS UNDERTAKING. (PRESUMABLY NEITHER THE UK GOVERNMENT NOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SEE A NEED FOR DOMESTIC LEGISLATION ON THIS POINT TO GIVE EFFECT TO THEIR UNDERTAKINGS REGARDING THE SHANGHAI AND MANCHESTER CONSULATES-GENERAL). ON MISS WILMSHURST'S FINAL POINT, WE DO NOT CONSIDER THE CONTINUED EFFECT OF PARAGRAPHS 4 AND 5 OF THE UNDERSTANDING OF 14 APRIL TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH PARAGRAPH (F) OF THE 19 JUNE 1981 MEMORANDUM.
