Dear Rogers,
You will remember that when the question of the removal
of prisoners frnn KUT/AIT under the Oolonial Prisoners
Removal Act, 1884 was first raised the ultimate question of
costs was left open* In '.'orrison’s letter to £vans of
^24th December, 1948 he said he would like our consent to the
^ removal of Walter G-odden to be subject to the understanding
4! that the cost should be borne by the Foreign Office, and
that we would take up the general question later.
Section 11(1) of the Act of 1884 leaves the incidence
of costs a matter of arrangement between the .tone office
and the removing authority, subject ,where monies provided by
Parliament are concerned,to the consent of the Trearury.
In the case of ordinary removals from British Colonies it
has always been the practice that the cost is borne by the
removing colony, and this ffle is approved by the Treasury.
I have now found a case of 1924, when one, Mathaniel
Lester was removed from Shanghai. In that case the ireasury
approved the charge of the cost of removal against the Foreign
Office Diplomatic and Consular Vote and the charge of the
cost of maintenance while in Bhgland against the Prisons vote.
