Settlements contribution, remarks that the Hong Kong proposals "involve dropping a claim for a refund of £114,000 which would be

decidedly embarrassing to you at present". We were very glad to

receive this assurance; no reference appears to have been made

to it in the correspondence received from your Department as to

the Hong Kong proposals.

(6) The Treasury would of course have to be a party to any

change in the basis of assessment. The War Office would

naturally express its views to the Treasury in due course, but it

might save time if the Treasury were considering the matter from

their point of view simultaneously. I do not know whether you have in this case intentionally departed from your practice of

sending the Treasury a copy of the proposals at the same time as

they are sent to the War Office.

Yours, sincerely,

Wurmland
