The debate on the second reading of the Bill is recorded in the Hong Kong Hansard,[10] which shows that the two Chinese members, Ho Kai and Wei Yuk, did not oppose the Bill but a minority of the "leading Chinese" in the community were against it. BackgroundSegregation by healthIn 1894, the deadly Third Pandemic of Bubonic plague spread from China to Hong Kong, causing 100,000 deaths in Canton alone within two months.[6] Dr. Gomes da Silva, the Principal Medical Officer of Macao, in recording the sanitary condition of the Chinese population, observed that they usually threw house refuse into the street, where it accumulated until such time as the torrential summer rains and the overflow of the Pearl River cleared it away. A study by City University of Hong Kong also attributes the spread of plague to the hygiene and sanitary condition among local population at the time.[11] Governor of Hong Kong Sir William Robinson reported to the British Government that "the filthy habits of life amongst the 210,000 Chinese who reside here have rendered Hong Kong liable to the invasion and development of the germ of the bubonic plague".[12] In the late 1890s, Europeans who resided in the City of Victoria gradually moved to places of higher altitude to evade such living conditions. But as the Chinese population continued to increase in the city, and the Europeans were reaching Victoria Peak thus could not move any higher, the Hong Kong Government decided to reserve the Peak for Europeans and other non-Chinese. The 1904 Government Gazette explained that such reservation of the district was to address such concerns over the health of European people.[8] Between 1894 and 1929, the plague caused 24,000 case of infection in Hong Kong, of which 90% were fatal.[13] In 1929, the plague was eradicated and the law was repealed in 1930. Segregation by social statusSome historians believe the Hill District Reservation Ordinance is a law based on social segregation as its goal. At the time one's social status was measured by the altitude of one's residence.[5] One incidental benefit that came with the law included the reservation of the Peak Tram at certain hours of the day.[5] From 8 to 10 am, the tram service was for top officials, first class passengers only, thus guaranteed good commute time.[5] The front seat of the tram was always reserved for the governor, who further accorded its desirable social status by building a summer retreat, the Mountain Lodge.[5] The Peak at the time was referred to by the British as "Little England".[14] Many of the upper-middle class household members would have a dozen to 20 Chinese servants.[14] Similar ordinancesOther historical racially based zoning law in Hong Kong.

ExemptionThe ordinance stated that "It shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to exempt any Chinese from the operation of this Ordinance on such terms as the Governor-in-Council shall think fit". Such exemptions were invoked for such personalities as First Lady of the Republic of China Madame Chiang Kai-shek[8] and Eurasian millionaire Sir Robert Ho-Tung and his family.[5] See also
