As I expect that
will You now
know
Thank you for your letter of 10 May enclosing
a copy of the Telex message which you had sent
to the Governor of Hong Kong about the death
sentence on TSOI Kwok-cheong.
Mr Tsoi petitioned The Queen for the exercise
of Her Residual Prerogative of Mercy. I recommended
Her Majesty to grant a conditional pardon commuting
the sentence of death to one of life imprisonment.
The Queen has signed the Instrument of Pardon.
