from the Hong Kong Government. Mr. Hefti wrote

his reports following two visits which he paid

to the Victoria Road Detention Centre in May

and December last year. You will see that the

only criticism that he had to make of the

arrangements at the Centre was concerned with

inside

certain outoide cell accommodation which lacked

adequate access to daylight. You will also see

that the Hong Kong Government have taken steps

to remedy this deficiency. In any event, the

five number of detainees has been reduced to Six

since Mr Hefti's later report was written and it seems unlikely that" this accommoda the criticism probably no longer holds good.

The only other comment that I wish to

make on Mr. Hefti's reports refers to the

latter part of paragraph 3 of his report of the

13th May, 1968. There is no one now detained

under the Deportation of

Aliens Ordinance:

of the allegations contained in the "Letter of

is now in use
