Will you please refer to the record
of conclusions reached at a meeting between
representatives of the Treasury and the Colonial
Office on 22nd January, 1942, where it was agreed
that expenditure to be incurred on relief of
dependants of Hong Kong Government Civil
Servants and Volunteers should be a charge on
·
Hong Kong funds; but that, insofar as these
funds might prove insufficient, advances required
should be made by the United Kingdom Government
as a loan to Hong Kong.
explained
As I have already indieated by telephone
I am sorry to say that the point has now been
reached where Hong Kong Government funds are no Tuner able
upon them
met the okligations wh
been undertaken, and that it has become necessal.
to ask the Treasury to advance the necessary funds
to make up the deficit.
