Action Taken

In formo

I have the honour to refer to the Hong Kong

Letters Patent 1986 and to address you on the subject

of grants and dispositions of land in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Letters Patent 1986 dispense

with the requirements that grants and dispositions

of land in Hong Kong should be made in the name

of The Queen. It is therefore necessary to adopt

an alternative form for such grants. I therefore

instruct you that, consequent upon the coming into

force of such Letters Patent, grants and dispositions

of any land in Hong Kong made and executed by you under the principal Letters Patent be made and executed

in the name of the Government of Hong Kong.

I should be grateful if you would acknowledge

receipt of this despatch.
