**The Lord Brockway

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the commission to enquire into corruption in Hong Kong will be permitted by its terms of reference to investigate the alleged responsibility of the police for charges at the Star Ferry tribunal against Mrs. Elsie Elliot, headmistress of a Christian school, after she had initiated the exposure of police corruption.

A decision whether any corruption aspects of such a case

should be considered by the Commission would of course be for

the Hong Kong Government and the Commission to take when it

begins operations next year. But Mro Elliott'n complain, if

established, would have amounted to conspiracy, rather blom

corruption, which it is the task of the new Commission to

investigate.
