You may like to see a copy of a letter which Alec
has written to Ivor Richard, who brought up the
general question on behalf of Harold Wilson.
In Mr Tsoi's petition to The Queen he said that he
had decided not to appeal to the Privy Council.

a successful appeal. It would, of course, have been

possible to apply for leave appeal out of time
and in forma pauperis. I therefore doubt whether
the reasons you suggest were the decisive ones in
his advisers' decision not to go to the Privy
Council.

raise will be considered with all others that
relate to this cada
