§ 35. Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs why he has so far provided only an interim reply, dated 1st March, 1967, to a letter sent to his predecessor on 8th September, 1966, by the hon. Member for Wanstead and Woodford about grievances alleged by Chu Leung, a former detective staff sergeant in the Hong Kong Police Force; and when he hopes to send a final reply.
§ Mrs. HartI am sorry that it is taking such a long time to give a substantive reply, but Mr. Chu's letter is being treated as a petition to the Secretary of State. All the papers in the case, including the record of the disciplinary proceedings are now in London and our legal advisers are being consulted.
