Sir,
स्त
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
+
your telegram No.110 of the 11th of September, 1931, on the
subject of overpayments recovered and to confirm my reply
No. 190 of the 2nd of October reading as follows:-
I su no. C. 82756/31[NO. 127...
"Your telegram dated 11th September, No.10,
Overpayments. Amount recovered January to June, 1931, $18,000 under some 30 heads such as refunds for over-
payments in salaries or passages or errors in payment
vouchers for stores.
Full details will be forwarded by despatch but if more detailed information on the principle is required
the Director of Colonial Audit would be able to
explain this".
2. I enclose a list showing the principal receipts from this source during the current year.
It is of course
inevitable that overpayments of this nature should occur
from time to time and that in a number of cases the excess
should not be recovered until after the end of the financial
year in which the original payments were made. In Hong Kong
it has been the practice in the past to credit with the
amount
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
J. H. THOMAS, M.P.,
