I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit for the information of Mr. Secretary Amery a copy of a letter received from
the Commander-in-Chief, China Station, regarding the
arrangements made for the renewal of the charters in
respect of the armed launches "Onslaught", "Faulknor"
and "Nessus" for service on the West River.
My Lords have approved the Commander-in-
Chief's proposals, and he has been authorised to
conclude an agreement for twelve months if considered
desirable, provided that the Admiralty may terminate
it at one month's notice. As regards insurance,
My Lords have informed the Commander-in-Chief that
the Admiralty will not insure their share of liability,
but that there is no objection to the Colonial Govern-
ment doing so as regards their share.
