Sir.

Speech by Mr G.A. Higginson, Secretary for Economic Services, in the Legislative Council

on 15 May 1985

Registered Trustees Incorporation Ordinance (Amendment of Second Schedule) Order 1985

I move the resolution standing in my name on

the Order Paper.

2.

The Registered Trustees Incorporation Ordinance

(Amendment) of Second Schedule) Order 1985, which was made

by the Governor in Council on 30 April 1985, increases

some of the fees payable to the Registrar of Companies in

connection with the incorporation of registered trustees.

These fees were last revised in 1977.

3.

The new fees will not be a burden on the

charitable organisations for which the Ordinance provides

as, with two exceptions, they concern the provision of

documents to third parties enquiring about them. The two

exceptions are the fee payable for any alteration or

amendment to a certificate by the Governor, and the fee

payable for a change of name or seal, both of which are

raised from $20 to $100.

4.

Sir, I beg to move.
