HC Deb 27 January 1969 vol 776 cc232-3W
Mr. Orbach

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why the names of 54 Chinese detained without trial under the Hong Kong Emergency Regulations were not published.

Mr. Whitlock

It is not the practice to publish the names of detained persons. However, their families are notified and are, of course, free to give such publicity as they wish to the action taken by the authorities.
