Thomas Cook and Sons, Delhi, drawn on Thomas
Coos and Sons, Hong Kong, for the amount of
Rs. 9.09,134-13-9.
It was not possible
for these bills to be met during the Japanese
occupation of Hong Kong and they were accordingly
transmitted to the Hong Kong Government Accounts
office in London for retention until such time
as they could be presented in Hong Kong. It
appears from your despatch that on presentation
the bills realised 15,119 less than the amount
actually due to the Goverment of Hong Kong. Any claim
which the Government of Hong Kong feels is still
outstanding on this account appears to be one
for consideration by the-Government of India
on
and I am not clear/what grounds it can be held
that the charge should now be met by H. M. G.
