this should be regarded as capable of corroborating the
evidence of it.
Agreed with the first part of this recommendation but
not with the second (ie corroboration).
On the latter
the recommendations of the Law Commission are still the
subject of public discussion here and HMG has not so
sk
far expressed any view. We Yould prefer not to see this
adopted in the limited context of bribery cases in
Hong Kong while the principle remains undecided.
We
asked that this recommendation should be left in abey-
ance.
