(2) Such special licence fee shall be in addition to the ordinary licence fee payable under any Ordinance or regula- tions relating to the licensing of vehicles.
4. The Governor in Council shall have power to make Regulations. such regulations as he thinks fit for the carrying out of this Ordinance.

Officer Administering the Government.
Objects and Reasons.
The Ottawa Conference has made it necessary for all parts of the Empire to support the conclusions there made as far as circumstances permit. The conditions of Hong Kong give few openings for reciprocating in the way of preference. but motor vehicles provide one such opening of which it is proposed to take advantage. A general import duty is possible but it is considered that such a duty might interfere with the entrepôt trade in motor vehicles and it has therefore been decided to recommend that the principle of preference should apply only to motor vehicles registered for use in the Colony and to add 20% of the c.i.f. value to the licence fee of all foreign made motor vehicles on first registration.
