Mr. A. Royale (Richmond): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many detainees in Hong Kong held under Emergency Regulation 31 are non-British subjects, why non-British detainees have not been dealt with under Deportation and Detention Regulations and if he will list the names of the members of the Committee of Review constituted under the Emergency Regulations.

10 December, 1968.

ith Whithamn Whitloch

Fourteen of the detainees do not claim the

status of British subjects. Their deportation is not

regarded as a practical possibility; nor was it

thought right to apply different laws and procedures to

those implicated in last year's events because of

their nationality.

I am not prepared to reveal the identity

of members of the Committee of Review, because to do

so would expose them to unnecessary personal risks.
