DEATH SENTENCE IN HONG KONG
1. Mr James Lamond MP wrote to the Secretary of State on
2 May about the death sentence passed in Hong Kong on
Mr Tsoi Kwok-cheong.
2. Mr Royle replied on 10 May, forwarding a copy of a letter
which the Secretary of State had written to Mr Ivor Richard
and promising a further reply.
3. I attach a draft letter to Mr Lamond informing him that
the Secretary of State recommended The Queen to commute Tsoi's
sentence. The department's Legal Adviser agrees.
