MR ALAN ELLIS

1.

Please refer to your minute of 16 November. I understand that Mr Royle discussed Mr Ellis's case with Mr Jack Cater, the new Head of the Anti-Corruption Commission, when he was in London recently. Mr Cater apparently undertook to consider Ellis's case again when the Commission starts operating in February.

In doing so, however, he said that he was going outside his brief and asked Mr Royle not to write to Hong Kong about this at the moment. As you will see from Mr Royle's letter to Mr Ellis, Mr Ellis has been informed that his case will be put to the Commission but that the inquiries will have to concentrate on the corruption aspects.

2. This had led Mr Ellis to write yet another letter to Mr Royle in which he asks yet again how HMG can accept the two internal Hong Kong Police Inquiries of 1963 and 1965. I shall be grateful for your advice on a suitable reply which Mr Royle can send to the points raised in page 2, paragraph 3 of Mr Ellis's letter (attached).
