19th April. I note from this that the action you are proposing about the non- retrospective change of the Fugitive Offenders Act might specifically call in question Section 10 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance. The object of this letter is to ask that you will immediately let me know if you see a serious risk developing that the proposed line of action on the former might result in the latter being disallowed. As you can imagine this would drive a horse and cart through the operations of the new Anti- Corruption Commission and in additión raise a mammoth storm in UK/Hong Kong relations.
