I
With reference to your letter of the 8th instant (10/1972 F.1) further respecting the assessment to
Military Contribution of the Opium Revenue at Hong Kong,
am directed by the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's
Treasury to state that They concur in the view of the Army
Council that, pending a decision upon the Report of the Colonial Contributions Committee they should adopt the same
attitude in regard to the cost of the Preventive Service in
Hong Kong as in the case of the similar service in the
Straits Settlements.
المر
The
Secretary,
War Office.
I am,
etc.
(Sd.) John Bradbury.
