sir,

I am directed by the Secretary of State for

War to inform you that, an area of about 15 acres

being required on Stonecutter's Island, Hong Kong, for

the erection of barracks for the Royal Garrison

Artillery, the question of land required for military

buildings on that Island has been the subject of corres-

pondence between the military authorities and the

Colonial Secretary at Hong Kong.

With regard to the rights of the War Depart-

ment over the land of the Island, it is considered that,

in addition to the sites of the existing military

buildings, which can only be regarded as Colonial

Military Land, the areas which immediately surround the

batteries on the Island and are necessary for their

efficient working should also be regarded as coming

under the same category.

It would also appear that the Colonial

Government has previously taken the view that the whole

Island

Under Secretary of State,
