He also received a Diploma in Economics and Political Science from Oxford University in 1922. It was only at Oxford and subsequently that he used Tam as his surname, whereas his brother George and his descendants have retained Thomas as theirs. He was a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong from 1939 until 1941 when Hong Kong fell under the Japanese occupation. He was appointed to the Chinese Cooperative Council set up the Japanese. In 1947, Tam was appointed to preside at the Central Magistracy.[1] During the war and shortly after he had had a law practice with Kan Yuet-keung and George She.
