1. WE HAVE RECEIVED FAX COPIES OF THE IRAQ/KUWAIT (UNITED NATIONS SANCTIONS) ORDER 1990 AND THE IRAQ/KUWAIT (UNITED NATIONS SANCTIONS) (DEPENDENT TERRITORIES) ORDER 1990, THEY HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED TO THE PRESS ALREADY.

2. WE NOTE THAT EXEMPTIONS ARE PROVIDED FOR BY WAY OF A LICENCE GRANTED BY THE 9ECRETARY OF STATE IN THE CASE OF THE FIRST ORDER AND BY THE GOVERNOR IN THE CASE OF THE SECOND ORDER. IT IS HOWEVER NOT CLEARLY SPELT OUT IN THE TWO ORDERS AS TO WHAT THE CRITERIA FOR EXEMPTIONS ARE. WE SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE GUIDELINES TO BE USED IN THE UK FOR GRANTING EXEMPTIONS IN ORDER THAT WE CAN CONFORM TO AND APPLY THE SAME CRITERIA IN HONG KONG.
