Essential that necessary legislation to give effect to the ban in
trade is in place by 18 July. Hope you will warn us if there are
any hidden pitfalls.
Reservation very unpopular here, fuelled by recent press reports
about poached ivory heading for Hong Kong.
Important to convince public that Hong Kong ivory trade is not roaring away unimpeded
For this reason intend to ensure that Cabinet colleagues and
Parliament are fully informed about passage of draft bill through ExCo, the legislature timetable and measures being taken to enforce
import ban.
