You wrote on 10 February to the Secretary of
State, who is abroad, on the subject of Chu Leung's

proposed that he be deprived of his U.K. and Colonies
citizenship, which he had acquired by naturalisation, he
exercised the right to have his case referred to a Committee
of Enquiry, who recommended that his citizenship should
not be withdrawn.
