Aned Q

My Lord,

With reference to Mr. Amery's despatch

No.421 of 31st December, 1928, on the subject of the

Standard Stock of the Public Works Department, I have

the honour to request that, in view of the fall in the

value of the Hong Kong dollar, the sum of $550,000 may

be adopted for the year 1930 as representing six months'

supply of stores other than tho se for particular works.

It is further requested that this figure be sanctioned

for 1931 and for the future until further notice.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LORD PASSFIELD,
