It is not possible to comment meaning- fully on the session until the content of the new text is known. I would there- fore prefer to avoid giving a substantive answer to the questions until the Gov- ernment has had a chance to review the new text.

Hong Kong

Mr. James Johnson asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what specific evidence has been presented by the Crown's Law Officers in Hong Kong proving that law enforce- ment has been undermined by officials applying intimidation against officers un- willing to accept internal bribe retainers; and what specific measures have been taken to protect uncompliant officers re- garding abuse of their security of tenure.

Mr. Luard: No evidence has been pre- sented by the Crown's law officers in Hong Kong to show that law enforcement has been undermined in the manner in- dicated in my hon. Friend's Question. Measures to protect uncompliant officers have not therefore been necessary.

Mr. James Johnson asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in how many cases since 1973 the Crown's Law Officers in Hong Kong have found in corruption trials that intimida- tion was used against uncompliant officers unwilling to accept bribes.

Mr. Luard: None.
