ANNOUNCEMENTS.

3. The Colonial Secretary said :--I desire on behalf of the Government to express my regret that the honourable the Senior Unofficial Member should have been misled in his remarks in Council on Thursday last regarding the Shing Mun Water Scheme, by a misprint which had inadvertently crept in to Sessional Paper No. 4 of 1929. The telegram from the Secretary of State reading as follows:--

66

'With reference to the Shing Mun Scheme second section, I agree to the details being worked out immediately, as it is obvious that this will be required before long in any case.

"}

was dated the 19th October, 1928; the fact that the date was given in the Sessional Paper as the 19th of October, 1925, did not come to my notice until it was referred to by the honourable the Senior Unofficial Member last Thursday.
