Sat 24m

103 With reference to Hong Kong Tel No.770 of 20 July you

will have noted this Department's interest in the subject matter in view of our responsibility with regard to policy on the Prerogative of Mercy. The subject is of some importance to dependent territories generally and we would be most grateful if Mr Pauncefort, Head of the General Section of this Department, could be kept informed of developments as the subject matter is dealt with.

2. This Department is also the "custodian" of procedures on petitions to The Queen, and if we can be of any assistance in this particular case your Department are most welcome to call on Miss Daw Room K274A Auto 204.

23 July 1974
