The

I have laid before the Lords Commi sai oners

of His Majesty's Treasury Mr. Helloway's letter of the

9th July 1929 (3/23467 (F.W.)), respecting the proposal

that a permanent hangar should be erected at the aero-

drome at Kowloon, Hong Kong, for use jointly by civil

and Air Force machines, in place of the temporary

matshed buildings now used.

In reply I am to request you to infom the

Air Council that My Lords concur in this proposal

subject to the conditions set out in the letter under

reply, including the division of the cost equally

between Colonial and Imperial Funds, and They authorise

provision being made in Air Estimates for 1930 for the

Air Ministry share, estimated at between $15,000 and

£16,000, to include slip-way communications, aprons, etc.
