NOTES ON

PROCEDURE ETC FOR GOVERNORS

OF

DEPENDENT TERRITORIES

(These Notes are supplied for information and

guidance only, and are not to be regarded as

official instructions. They should be read in

conjunction with Colonial Regulations, local

instructions and memoranda issued by Hong Kong

and General Department of the Foreign and

Commonwealth Office which deal with terms and

conditions of service of Governors, departmental

responsibilities within the Foreign and Commonwealth

Office, etc.)

2. It will be appreciated that the Notes are not

only for Guidance only but that they must also be

interpreted according to the circumstances of the territory concerned, eg many of the formalities of life in Government House, Hong Kong, would be quite

out of place even if they could be followed in, say, Anguilla.
