Thank you for your letter of 10 May enclosing
a copy of the Telex message which you had sent to the
Governor of Hong Kong about the death sentence on
TSOI Kwok-cheong.
Mr. Tsoi petitioned The Queen for the exercise of Her Residual Prerogative of Mercy. As I expect that you will now know, I recommended Her Majesty to grant a conditional pardon commuting the sentence of death to one of life imprisonment. The Queen has
signed the Instrument of Pardon.
The Rt. Hon. Lord Gardiner.
