With reference to your letter dated 7th January,
1939, No.53547/38 concerning the Arsenal Yard, Hong Kong,
I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
to state for the information of the Secretary of State
for the Colonies that They have decided not to make the
necessary provision in 1939 Estimates for the construc-
tion of buildings on this property. The negotiations
for the acquisition of the seaward portion must perforce
be suspended.
2. My Lords note that the Hong Kong Government are
prepared to give an undertaking not to sell the land-
ward portion of the Yard without first informing the
Admiralty and They would be grateful if this under-
taking could be extended to cover the whole of the
property.
