16. Furthermore the Government have elaborated the Consulting Engineers scheme for Hung Hom Bay in order to provide protected wharves where the larger vessels could remain, discharging and loading, even during a typhoon. If the backwash which the Consulting Engineers feared would be caused by a wall at North Point, would be a serious matter for their Hung Hom Bay scheme, it would appear prima facie to be likely to have an even more serious effect on a scheme designed to provide protected water.

17. It is unfortunate that We/have any explicit 3/25.) statement of the reasons why the Government decided to rejat

The only passages (apart from the passage quoted in paragraph 14 above) in which any attempt is made to justify the decision is the penultimate paragraph on page 7 of Mr. Duncan's report, in which it is stated that the North Point scheme was referred to the Consulting Engineers and that "whilst offering objections to reclamation of the foreshore in question, they admit that such a scheme. is practicable but consider it would be best to leave the foreshore as it is at present."

"I have suggested in telegram of the 28th April that it is not necessary to refer Mr Duncan's Scheme as a whole to the Consulting Engineers, first
