HONG KONG LETTERS PATENT AND ROYAL INSTRUCTIONS
fout t Hacking CEC 43
1. I attach a draft of a submission to which is attached
the current drafts of the amending Letters Patent and the
Royal Instructions, together with an Explanatory Note for the
Privy Council.
2. You will wish to submit to Ministers and obtain their
authority for placing the drafts before The Queen in Council.
3. It would be prudent to put copies of the drafts of the
Instruments (but not of the Explanatory Note) in the Bag for
the Hong Kong authorities. We will send clean proofs in due
course.
4. In the meanwhile Legal Executive Section will obtain clean proofs.
5. When the Secretary of State has approved the submission,
Legal Executive Section will write to the Privy Council offices
on his behalf, submitting the drafts. The latest time for
delivery of the drafts is 14 March at 12 noon. After the
drafts are approved, there will be a little delay before we are
in a position to send them to Hong Kong as there are necessary formal steps to be taken before the Letters Patent
can be sealed and the Instructions issued.
