Construction.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th of September, No. 33613/06, enclosing a copy of a telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong expressing dissatisfaction with the progress of the construction of the Kowloon-Canton Railway.
2. We have communicated with the Consulting Engineers and I enclose a copy of their reply.
3. We think that the views expressed by the Consulting Engineers are reasonable and we would suggest that until further information has been received no further action should be taken in the matter.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
The Under Secretary of State,
