sir.

With reference to your letter of the 16th

of February 1926 relative to the refund of the sum

of £114,317.18.9. overpaid by the Hong Kong Government in respect of Military Contributions, I am directed to forward for the information of the Army

Council the enclosed copies of confidential correspondence with the Governor, concerning the abandonment of the scheme to transfer the Murray Barracks site to the Hong Kong Government and the recommendations that have now been made for closing the special Reprovision Account which was opened to deal with the financial details in connection with the various surrenders which were proposed under that

scheme.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE,
