Minister.
You might like to see the letter in draft first.

1. Mr Tam Dalyell MP has written to Mr Royle asking for
information on what action we are taking following recent
allegations of corruption in Hong Kong.
8/x
2. I fear we can give few hard facts to Mr Dalyell about
the detailed measures that are being taken to eradicate
corruption. We cannot disclose the proposals contained in
the second Blair-Kerr report, which has not yet been
published. We therefore cannot tell him about the proposed
amendments to the Colonial Regulations or give details of
proposed changes in the Anti-Corruption Office.
3. I accordingly attach a draft reply from Mr Amery, in
Mr Royle's absence, in general terms.
