Revision of Emergency and Defence Regulations in Hong Kong
26.MAR 1963 "COLONIALEHTIZE
In accordance with the request in the last paragraph
of your savingram of 18 July 1946, I report below the general position for the six month period 1 September 1962 - 28 February 1963:-
2.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(a)
No new Defence or Emergency Regulations have been enacted.
A number of sets of regulations and orders made under the Emergency Regulations Ordinance have been revoked or will be revoked in the near future.
(See Enclosure A attached)
Some of the Emergency (Principal) Regulations, 1949, are as you know, in force. The position with regard to
these is shown at Enclosure B.
A number of Defence Regulations and Orders have been. revoked.
(See Enclosure C attached)
FFD 370
In my savingram No. 797 dated 17th April 1962, entitled "The Rule of Law in Hong Kong," I referred to the action being taken to dispense with Emergency Regulations in operation in Hong Kong. It did not, unfortunately, prove possible to complete this action by the end of 1962. However, a major revision has been undertaken of all Emergency and Defence Regulations and of other temporary post- war legislation, and a comparison of Enclosures A and B to this savingram with Enclosures A and B respectively to my savingram No.797/62 will give an indication of the progress made in the revision of Emergency Regulations. Enclosure C indicates the progress made in revision of Defence Regulations and other temporary post-war legislation.
3.
(a)
(b)
As regards the future I propose to take the following action:-
to press ahead with all possible speed with the incorporation into the permanent law of such Emergency Regulations, Emergency (Principal) Regulations, Defence Regulations and other temporary post-war legislation as are required for normal purposes in the manner indicated in the enclosures to this savingram; the only exception to this is the Emergency (Deportation and Detention) Regulations, 1962, which I propose
to retain as Emergency legislation until such time as they are no longer required;
to prepare a revised set of regulations for a future full scale emergency, based on the Emergency (Principal) Regulations, 1949, to be set up in proof form by the Government Printer and held in readiness; as soon as this task is completed, the Emergency (Principal) Regulations
will be revoked.

Govered by other legislation so far as the Urban areas are concerned, and will be covered
for the New Territories on commencement of the Food Business (New Territories) Regulations,
1963. A draft order has been prepared to revoke the 1958 regulations with effect from
the date of commencement of the 1963 regulations; this is expected to be about the middle
of 1963.
Revocation is held up for two reasons :-
(a)
(b)
property which is still requisitioned under regulation 3 must be
derequisitioned before revocation.
8 out of 12 remaining orders under regulation 6 have been revoked. (see
G.N.A. 140/62); the remaining four, which relate to ranges still in use, are
to be incorporated in the new Defence Bill, on which work will shortly be
beginning.
Since R.N. ships, when engaged on anti-illegal immigration patrols, carry police officers
on board, it is considered that there is no reason for the retention of these regulations,
the revocation of which is under discussion with the Commodore.
Revoked by G.N.A. 150/62.
Revoked by G.N.A. 130/62.

These two enactments have replaced the Emergency (Detention Orders) Regulations, 1956, and the Emergency (Review of Detention Orders) Rules, 1956: the purpose of the new Regulations
and Rules is fully explained in paragraph 3 of my asvingrem No. 797 dated 17th April, 1962. It is intended that these regulations and rules should remain as Emergency legislation and
not be incorporated into the permanent law of the Colony.

(b)
By a resolution made and passed on 23rd December, 1964 (L.N.186/64), the Legislative Council extended the duration of the Defence Regulations (Continuation) Ordinance 1958 (No.37 of 1958) for the term of one year with effect from 1st January, 1965.
Emergency Regulations
New Regulations enacted
During this period, the Emergency (Bank Control) Regulations 1965 (L.N. 20/65) and the Emergency (Bank Control) (Amendment) Regulations 1965 (L.N. 21/65) were enacted in order to control the circulation of bank notes. The former Regulations provided for a limitation on payments by banks in cash and for the circulation in the Colony of notes issued by the Bank of England. The latter Regulations modified the former by adding thereto a new provision empowering the Commissioner of Banking to require the return of cash held by banks to note-issuing banka.
These regulations were subsequently, a week after their enactment, further modified by the Emergency (Bank Control) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1965 (L.N. 29/65) whereby the provisions relating to the limitation of payment in cash and the return of cash to note-issuing banks were revoked. The provisions relating to the circulation of notes issued by the Bank of England remained in operation.
During this period, no Emergency Regulations were revoked.
