Schene D759
1. In Scheme No.D.759 approval was given for
a free grant not exceeding £900 to cover expenses
in connection with a visit to Hong Kong by
Professor Sir Patrick Abercrombie.
2. That scheme was drawn up on the assumption
that a visit of 3 weeks' duration would suffice,
but further discussions which, before his
departure, the Governor of Hong Kong had at the Colonial Office with Sir Patrick Abercrombie

need to spend about 6 weeks in Hong Kong in order
to carry out his mission, for which the following
terms of reference have been agreed:-
3.
