THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
Sir,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG 27th February, 1929.
I have the honour to enclose herewith a
copy of a Memorandum prepared in the Foreign Office
of the proceedings at the Conference held in that
Office on 7th November, 1928, to discuss the
question of land leases in the New Territories of
Hong Kong.
In accordance with the decision contained
in the last paragraph of the Memorandum I have
carefully considered the matter with my principal
advisers, and I now enclose a Memorandum of a
Conference held on 5th February, 1929.
The
proposals contained in paragraph 5 of this Memorandum
appear to me to constitute the safest line for the
immediate future and I recommend that they should
receive the sanction of His Majesty's Government.

At the same time the position indicated in paragraph 6 of the latter Memorandum may arise at
LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
