Sir,
I am directed to refer to your letter of the
28th. February, 52753/28, and previous correspondence on
the question of the grant from Imperial funds towards the
cost of the Kai Tak aerodrome at Kowloon, and to request that
a Receivable Order for the sum of £70,000 may be obtained
from the Crown Agents for the Colonies and forwarded to this
Department for settlement.
In view of the fact that this amount is due to
be paid from 1927 funds it is requested that the matter may
be treated as urgent in order that payment may be effected
before the 31st. of this month.
I am, Sir,
The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office,
S.W.1.
•
Your Obedient Servant,
ResRichards.
