sir,

5 January, 1932.

I have laid before the Tords Commissioners of His

Majesty's Treasury Sir Vincent Baddley's letter (C...in C.

4489/31/207A) of the 18th December 1931 with regard to the

proposed new Naval hospital at Hong Kong, and i am now

directed to request you to convey to the Lords Commissioners

of the Admiralty the following reply.

My ords note that the possibility of adopting a

cheaper schome by curtailing the accommodation proposed for

the new hospital has been again considered, but that the

=

board of Admiralty are of opinion that a smaller establishment

would be inadequate for the requirements of the fleet. The

Lords Commissioners of the adziralty therefore propose to

proceed at once with the construction of the new hospital at

an estimated cost of £142,000 under Havy Vote 10 and £10,500

under Vote 8, the provision under Vote 10 in 1982 being £7,500

The Secretary,

Admiralty.
