The Ordinance has not been repealed. However it has been omitted from the List of Ordinances and is considered as spent of effect.

(ii) Expired Leases - land is currently occupied by the military where

the original lease has expired but has not been renewed or replaced

by other forms of documentation.

(iii) Monthly Licences

(iv) Areas reserved through correspondence for naval burials.

-

(v) Gazetted area under the Emergency (Acquisition) Regulations 1949

(Cap. 241) an area at Sai Wan is expressed to have been gazetted

under these Regulations as a Firing Area. This does not appear

possible under the terms of the Regulations but can be checked if

required. Copy Ordinance marked 'M' attached.

(vi) Gazetted areas under the Defence (Firing Areas) Ordinance (Cap. 196)

- Under this Ordinance certain areas are designated as firing areas.

Section 11 provides that the Governor-in-Council may amend the firing

areas. Copy Ordinance marked 'N' attached.

Note:

Rather than simply list the different instruments under which

the MOD holds property in Hong Kong I have attempted in each

case to give a brief account of what the instrument purports

to effect. In order to do this I have referred to individual

cases and it is conceivable therefore that a Memorandum of

Transfer, for instance, in another case may contain different

provisions and have a different effect than the example

quoted above. To check each individual instrument would be

a very time consuming exercise.
