I am commanded by the Air Council to refer to

Colonial Office letter of the 23rd June, 52753/28, relative

to the provision of technical advice in connection with the

lay-out of Kai Tak aerodrome.

In reply I am to acquaint you, for the information

of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that Mr. J.A.

Dawson, the officer whom the Council have selected for the

proposed visit, will be authorised to agree provisionally to

a lay out of the site and to the disposal of land surplus to

requirements. They consider, however, that the provisional

agreement should be subject to their approval upon the

receipt of Mr. Dawson's report.

They agree that the cost of the visit shall be

defrayed from Air Votes and are making arrangements for Mr.

Dawson to leave this country during the first week of

September.

I am also to refer to the despatch No. 226 dated

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

S.W.1.
