PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION BY MR JAMES JOHNSON MP
1.
Mr James Johnson has tabled a Question for Written Answer
on 17 October to ask the Secretary of State what communication
he has had with the Governor of Hong Kong regarding the matter
of corruption by public servants in that Colony; and whether
he will institute an anti-corruption squad independent of the
local police force.
Flag A (229)2.
We consulted the Governor of Hong Kong (FCO telegram No 998)
suggesting that the Reply to Mr Johnson should coincide with his
own announcement of the new Anti-Corruption Commission. The
Governor agreed and we have now received the text of what he
proposes to say in his speech at the Opening of Legislative
Flag B2 Council tomorrow, 17 October (Hong Kong telegram No 1178, paras
B246
uncil
5 - 16).
3. I attach a draft Reply to Mr Johnson's Question. The
Overseas Police Adviser agrees.
