I found these in the PRO

Thanks Annelise, lots of interesting things to follow up there. eg "Kowloon Station Hotel to go" - I didn't even realise there was a hotel!

Regards, David

Hi David - is there a portion of the list missing from Sep 1936 to 1938? Thanks

The list that Annelise originally posted at the top of the page ended at 1936.

Those links don't work any more but I found the document online - click on the thumbnail for the second result at https://search.grs.gov.hk/en/searchlib.xhtml?q=THE+BUILDER&e_k=on&page=1. Unfortunately I still don't see anything after 1936.
