I think the Department requires a boat entirely at its disposal.

I may in conclusion observe that the Land Registry and Accountant work in which Mr. Power is engaged fully occupies the whole of his time, but it is increasing and must continue so to do if Kowloon and Causeway Bay are sold, and if that should occur an increase in that Branch of Department will be required.
