HONG KONG: PRIORITY WRITTEN PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS ON THE POLICE AND CORRUPTION
1. I submit draft replies to Mr Parry's two PQs on this subject
together with a background note.
2. Mr Parry takes a close interest in Hong Kong affairs. So far this year he has tabled 83 Questions on Hong Kong covering a
wide range of topics. He is also a regular visitor to Hong Kong
and, during his latest visit in September this year, he was the subject of offensive remarks made by a group of off-duty European police officers. Mr Parry has received an apology for this incident from the Commissioner of Police in Hong Kong and
the officers concerned have been severely reprimanded.
3.
The replies are based on information and comments by the
Governor. The reply to Question 2 takes into account the Supreme Court Rules Ordinance which makes provision for debt
judgement to be enforced by both imprisonment and attachment of
property.
4.
Given the complexity of the second question it has proved impossible to keep the answer within the normal limit of 50
words.
