the 25th April, from the Governor of Hong Kong forwarding reports and plans relating to the aerodrome, and to state
that whilst the Council consider that a final opinion on
the proposals of the Hong Kong Government can only be expressed after Mr. Dawson has carefully examined the site,
they are inclined to the view that the lay-out proposed
may require considerable modification.
As regards paragraph 3 of the despatch, I am to
confirm Sir Cecil Clementi's assumption that the cost of any
buildings required for Royal Air Force purposes will be
defrayed by Air Votes.
The Council note that Sir Cecil Clementi will
shortly be visiting England and will be happy to take the opportunity thus afforded for discussing the whole question
with him.
I am,
sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Deal.
