the Commodore.

2 Seeing that the site in question is required for use as a Hospital Mr Chamberlain is prepared to approve of its being granted to the Naval Authorities at Hongkong on the terms proposed viz: at the rate of 30 cents a square foot and a nominal rent of £1 a year. I am, however, to add that the writers by the direction of Mr Chamberlain has consented to the waiver by the Colonial Govt of their right to claim from...

the Naval Authorities on the present occasion; he wishes it to be clearly understood that that consent did not create a precedent for the future.

3 I am to suggest that if Their Lordships approve of the proposed arrangement instructions should be given to the Commodore to pay to the Colonial Govt the exact sum ascertained to be due in respect of the purchase of the land in question.
