The attached Question by Mr. Maurice Orbach (Stockport, South)
is for oral answer on Monday, 27 January.
The Farliamentary
Office has indicated that Notes for Supplementaries are not
required since the Question will not be reached.
2.
The draft reply is based on the material in Hong Kong
telegram No. 72. I suspect that the scenes in court (paragraph 5
of that telegram), played a part in determining the sentences
but there is no scope for mentioning this in an answer confined
strictly to the terms of the question.
3. There were other similar disturbances and acts of indiscipline
in Hong Kong schools during 1967, aping the activities of the
youthful "Red Guards" in China.
