Dear
burningham
I promised at the Oversea
Defence Committee Meeting the other
day that I would look into the
question of why the Admiralty had not
been consulted before we aisallowed the
provision for the R.N.V.R. Force in
CAPTAIN J. CUNNINGHAM, M.V.O., R.N.
Hong Kong.
I find that the proposals
on this point came up with the general
estimates of the Colony, and I fear
that in dealing with these in general
the question of consulting the
particular
Admiralty on this/point was overlooked.
I quite agree, however, that the
Admiralty certainly should have been
consulted on such a point, and I am
very sorry that we failed to do so in
this case.
