CONFIDENTIAL

CHRISTMAS ADJOURNMENT DEBATE

HONG KONG: MR GODBER/CORRUPTION/FUGITIVE OFFENDERS ACT

LINE TO TAKE

I see no reason to keep the House in session in order to

debate this particular subject. The question of corruption in

Hong Kong and the particular case of ex Chief Superintendent

Godber was raised during the Foreign Affairs debate on the

Qusen's Speech on 31 October. My Hon Friend the Parliamentary

Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

maounced the Hong Kong Government's action to deal with

corruption in his written Parliamentary reply to the flon Member

for inston-upon-Hull on 17 October. My Rt Hon Friend the

18 question of the extradition of Mr Godber to long long in his

ritten Parliamentary reply to a question from the Hon hember for

Lings.con-upon-Hull on 7 November 1973.
