Dear Gammain

no

Since receiving your letter of 17 July I have heard from our Deputy Command Secretary in Hong Kong of additional extra costs arising from MOD assistance in the IS situation there. These are further to those reported 24434 to you in my letters of 29 February and 19 April and are broken down thus:-

1.

Hire of additional transport

2.

Works Services, Aaditional

Maintenance

3.

Bomb disposal staff

4+.

Stores, engineer

5. Workshop expenditure

6.

Hotel accommodation

£6945

£8271 (partly estimated)

£668

£2749

£ 989

£2602

7. Civil labour

£4264 (to 30 June 68)

Apart from items 4 and 7 above, for which extra expenditure is continuing the cut off date has been taken as 12 June 1968 and to the best of our knowledge these will be the final figures.

I understand the Air Force Department sent you details of their costs separately on 25 July.
