In

losses of comparatively small amounts which must

occur in the post-war conditions in Hong Kong.

these circumstances, I would suggest that as proposed

in my letter of 17th September (53521/1/46) we need only seek Treasury authority in cases where

the loss or write-off exceeds the following amounts

Loss due to theft, fraud

of gross negligence

Cash

£100 3500

Stores

£200 voo

Other losses

Cash

£400 10, voo

Stores

£800 767 vno

6.

Some such arrangements on the above lines

would I think, whilst giving the Treasury

control over

general yaraight of Hong Kong finances, restrict

correspondence to the more important items.

Yours sincerely,
