A reply is required to the attached letter from Mr. John Tilney, M.P., to Lord Shepherd.
2.
It will be seen from one of the enclosures to the letter that Mr. Tilney has already discussed the subject matter of this correspondence with
Sir David Trench and we can therefore take it that he is well acquainted with the background and the difficulties involved. The letters from Mr. Litton to Mr. Tilney are a continuation of the campaign against emergency regulations in Hong Kong which began with a letter to "The Times" on 11th November, 1968, from Mr. John Rear of the University of Hong Kong. The principal items of that correspondence are attached.
3.
Mr. Litton draws a comparison between the Emergency (Principal) Regulations and the Emergency (Deportation and Detention) Regulations. To my mind these two sets of regulations are designed to deal with quite different circumstances and a direct comparison is not really justifiable.
4.
I attach a draft reply to Mr. Tilney.
