*La Mr James Johnson (Kingston-upon-Hull, West): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and

Commonwealth Affairs, what request he has received relating to the extradition, of Mr Godber, a former policeman to Hong Kong; and what reply he has given; and if he will make a statement.

NO 31

LORD BALNIEL

Mr Godber has not been charged with a relevant

offence under the provisions of the Fugitive Offenders

Act 1967. Consequently it is not open to the Hong

Kong Government to make any request for his return

under that Act.
