With reference to the
Shanghai Consul-General's telegram
of August the 15th. Evacuation
of British subjects from Shanghai.
I understand that arrangements are
being made for their reception and
maintenance in Hong Kong. Practice
in such cases is for refugees to
give undertakings to repay cost of
housing and maintenance and you
should obtain such undertakings-
from persons concried But so far as expenditure
incurred by Hong Kong Government
is not covered by repayments by
individuals and provided that
expenditure is confined to minimum
necessary His Majesty's Government
in United Kingdom will ultimately
refund
