London, S.W.

9th November, 1909.

With reference to Mr Bertram Cox's letter of

Gov

the 23rd August 1909, 24939/09, transmitting a copy of a

despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong regarding the

proposed transfer by the War Department to the Admiralty

of a portion of the Arsenal Yard, Hong Kong, I am

commanded by the Army Council to refer the Earl Of

Crewe to the correspondence which took place between the

Colonial Office, the Admiralty, and this Department in

1903 and 1904, ending with War Office letter of 23rd

14682/04 April 1904, Hong Kong 8/169, in which the Army Council

agreed that in any cases of transfer to the Admiralty of

Colonial Military land at Hong Kong notification would

be made to the Colonial Office; and further to War

Office letter of 30th August 1906, Ceylon 8/5 (L.B.),

arising out of the proposed transfer at Mount Airy, Kandy,

in which the view was maintained that a permission

granted by the War Department to the Admiralty to occupy

premises temporarily for service purposes would not be

incompatible with the War Department tenure of the land.

2. The Army Council adhere to the views expressed

in the correspondence above referred to and would remark

The Under Secretary of State,
