Office Accounting Officer will not give the certificate mentioned in paragraph 4(1) of Miscellaneous No.460B since, as I have mentioned above, that

We could, document has never been applied to Hong Kong. however, if you wish it, let you see a copy of the audited account before it goes to the Comptroller and Auditor General.

As regards 1947/8 no action appears to be necessary on my part. No grant-in-aid was issued, the year has ended, and although there has been correspondence between our two Departments about the control of Hong Kong expenditure, no letter has issued as indicated in paragraph 1 of Miscellaneous No.460B notifying the institution of Treasury Control.

I am sending a copy of this letter to worlledge.

Yours sincerely,

(say G. Bryant.
