We have assumed that within the next twelve months the population will reach 1,500,000 Chinese and 10,000 non-Chinese, excluding the Services. It is evident that the shortage of foreign type accommodation is proportionally much more acute than that of the Chinese type.
(b) Residential (Services).
In the case of the Services, out of a total pre-war accommodation of 7,700, the number displaced by war damage is:-

Materials and measurements
The R.A.F., having few buildings, have had no displacement by damage.
2. The eventual strength of the Military forces is yet to be settled, but for some time to come the number of armed forces to be accommodated will be greater than before the war, as they are necessary for various essential duties connected with the rehabilitation of the Colony.
In addition, space has to be found for approximately 2,000 Japanese prisoners of war, who are usefully employed. Space has also to be found for Chinese Military personnel moving through the Port.
3. By reducing floor space per head and by the construction of temporary hutted camps, the pressure on civilian housing by requisitioning is being reduced to the minimum.
(c) Schools.
It is estimated that there are roughly 200,000 children in the Colony, of whom 59,980 are in school, divided as follows:-
