MP's LETTER: MR ALAN ELLIS
73
665
PROBLEM
1. Sir Anthony Royle MP has written to Miss Lestor
enclosing a letter from his constituent Mr Alan Ellis.
BACKGROUND
2. There has been a long history of representations
from Mr Ellis, a former Inspector in the Royal Hong
Kong Police Force. Mr Ellis's probationary appointment
was terminated in July 1963 on the grounds of
temperamental unsuitability. Mr Ellis complained of
unfair treatment and wrongful dismissal. He made
a series of representations to various Ministers
between 1963 and 1966. There were full investigations
in Hong Kong, which did not find any of Mr Ellis's
allegations proven. For a period thereafter he
stopped writing to Ministers until 1971 when he
became a constituent of (the then) Mr Royle.
3. Over the past two years Sir Anthony Royle has
had a lengthy correspondence with Mr Ellis in an
attempt to answer all his questions and allegations
