§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what specific evidence has been presented by the Crown's Law Officers in Hong Kong proving that law enforcement has been undermined by officials applying intimidation against officers unwilling to accept internal bribe retainers; and what specific measures have been taken to protect uncompliant officers regarding abuse of their security of tenure.
§ Mr. LuardNo evidence has been presented by the Crown's law officers in Hong Kong to show that law enforcement has been undermined in the manner indicated in my hon. Friend's Question. Measures to protect uncompliant officers have not therefore been necessary.
§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in how many cases since 1973 the Crown's Law Officers in Hong Kong have found in corruption trials that intimidation was used against uncompliant officers unwilling to accept bribes.
