Gentlemen,
24. November, 1942.
I am etc. to enclose a copy of the
Hong Kong (Temporary Provisions) Order in
Council 1942 and to invite your attention to
Clause 2(1) regarding the application of
monies belonging to the Hong Kong Govt.
2. Since the Order is by virtue of
Section 6 deemed to have come into operation|
on the 26th of December, 1941, it gives
legislative sanction for payments made
between that date and the date of the order
in pursuance of authority which has been
conveyed to you from time to time by the
Secretary of State for expenditure of Hong
Kong moneys for the purposes specified in
Section 2(1). Any such authority will,
until further notice, continue in respect
both of specific payments not yet made, and
of payments of a class. Approval for any
form of expenditure not covered by authority
already given should be sought before payment
is made.
J. It is observed, however, that the
current account of the Hong Kong Govt. was
overdrawn
