"Noon Monday 21/1

Mr Ray Carter (Birmingham, Northfield): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will call for an investigation into the death of Mr Kwan Kung who was killed in an accident involving a căr on 29th July 1973 in Argyle Street, Hong Kong and the subsequent refusal of the police to prosecute the driver of the car.

Mr. Peter Blake,

No

The accident was investigated by the Hong Kong

Police, who found no evidence of any offence by the

driver. The Police passed all documents in the case to

the coroner, who decided that no death inquiry was

necessary. The Hong Kong Legal Department also

studied the papers and agreed with the conclusions of

the coroner and the police. I will be writing to the

Hon Member with further information on this case.
