I am afraid that I may not have made myself entirely clear in the minute opposite with regard to the provision for a loan to the Government of Hong Kong for the purchase of an airfield and that I may, therefore, have misled you into the true intention of that minute.
In so far as 1952/53 is concerned we previously gave a forecast to the Treasury that we anticipated expenditure of £500,000 during that year on this project and that this rate of expenditure was likely to be continued in 1953/54.
We now have to determine whether the figure of £500,000 for 1952/53 will in fact be reised since
we now
musare quereparing the estimates for that year and
what firm figure of expenditure we
must provide for.
In the current year, i.e., 1951/52, we only included a token provision of £10 in order to secure the approval of Parliament to the project. We can only include in the 1952/53 estimates a sum sufficient to cover the actual grant which the Government of Hong are likely to require during the
/year
