HC Deb 25 May 1949 vol 465 c1249
43. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the oath of allegiance declared by recruits to the Hong Kong Police was changed to its present form, which omits a pledge, "well and faithfully to serve His Majesty the King his heirs and successors"; and what was the reason for the change.

Mr. Rees-Williams

My right hon. Friend is looking into this matter and will communicate with the hon. Member in due course.
