In
losses of comparatively small amounts which must
occur in the post-war conditions in Hong Kong.
these circumstances, I would suggest that as proposed
in my letter of 17th September (53521/1/46) we need only seek Treasury authority in cases where
the loss or write-off exceeds the following amounts
Loss due to theft, fraud
of gross negligence
Cash
£100 3500
Stores
£200 voo
Other losses
Cash
£400 10, voo
Stores
£800 767 vno
6.
Some such arrangements on the above lines
would I think, whilst giving the Treasury
control over
general yaraight of Hong Kong finances, restrict
correspondence to the more important items.
Yours sincerely,
