Following Parliamentary Question by

Eric Heffer is for written reply on 20th January.

"To ask what were the circumstances in which

73 year old Mr. Li Chungkun and 78 year old

Mr. Ma Ching-Lung were arrested in Hong Kong;

what were the charges preferred against them

and the lengths of their sentences; and

whether in view of their age, he will

arrange for a remission to permit their

release".

Grateful if material for reply may reach us

not later than 9.00 hours on Monday 20th January.

We have been unable to identify either of these

prisoners with any of those mentioned in the list

forwarded with McLaren's letter to Carter of

11th December, 1968.
