CALL BY MR

ELLIS ON MR ROYLE AT 12 NOON ON
5 APRIL
Present:
Mr Anthony Royle, MP
Mr R B Crowson
Mr Alain Ellis
1. Mr Royle welcomed Mr Ellis, who said he was
now employed in press relations. Mr Royle said that
he was only seeing him because he was his constituent.
He had read his letter with great care. Over the
years Mr Ellis' complaint had been looked into by
two Commissions of Inquiry in Hong Kong and also
✰
by the Governor and by Ministers of different
political parties in Britain. They have not found
substance in his complaints. Mr Ellis said that
what was needed was a proper inquiry appointed by
HMG in the United Kingdom. Hong Kong inquiries were
not satisfactory
witnesses were not called and some
evidence was not taken. A hand-written letter which
he himself had submitted had been destroyed.
2.
Mr Royle said that the Inspector General of
Colonial Police had recently submitted a report to
him on his visit in December to Hong Kong. He could
not find justification for allegations of corruption
significaue on any scale, although some cases were bound to
/occur
