Note for the Minister of State
Summarising the facts in the case of Sergeant Chu Leung
2
Sergeant Chu Leung was a member of the Hong Kong
Special Branch. In January 1962 he was the subject of
disciplinary proceedings as a result of nine charges
brought against him under the Police Force Ordinance.
The proceedings were presided over by an Assistant
Commissioner of Police and Sergeant Chu was found guilty
on four of the charges (making false statements in the
course of duty (two charges), neglect of duty and
conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline).
was accordingly dismissed from the Police Force in
February 1962.

Following his dismissal, proceedings were instituted
under the British Nationality Act for the revocation of
Sergeant Chu's status as a British subject by naturalisation.
A further enquiry was then held. This time by a committee
appointed under the Act. The committee reported in 1963
and concluded that there was insufficient evidence that
Sergeant Chu had shown himself disloyal or disaffected
to warrant withdrawal of his naturalisation.
3. As a result of this enquiry the Governor reviewed
the record of the disciplinary proceedings which had led
to Sergeant Chu's dismissal but concluded that there was
insufficient ground for intervening in the matter.
