Admin reply to your letter of the 7th August 1903, No. 25263/1903, giving an explanation of the reasons why

it is considered necessary that if any transfer of

Colonial Military lands in Hong Kong to the Navy or vice

versa is made, it must be effected through the interven-

tion of the Colonial Government; I am commanded to ex-

press the thanks of Their Lordships of the Admiralty for

the assistance which the Secretary of State for the

Colonies has given them in this somewhat difficult and

complicated matter.

Their Lordships are glad to understand that no

expense is likely to fall on Naval Votes in the case of

this particular transfer at Hong Kong.

2. I am however to invite attention to two

points raised in your letter, and to ask that My Lords' views on these points may be further considered.

3.

Paragraph 2 of your letter under reply

states that the arrangements proposed only refer to lands

"granted" by the Colonial Government without payment.

My Lords consider that the term "granted"

should not be held to apply to lands taken over by the Army or Navy when Colonies were first occupied or captured.
