And his knowledge of this document would have been acquired in normal performance of his duties as a police officer? Correct.

It may be no record now exists of this document purely

Is it correct that there was also a letter of complaint eventually passed on to Police Force concerning Lau Cheong Wa and a possible connection with Ng Sik Ho?

There was a letter and that letter is contained in-a file

which exists.

Are you aware of date of that lotter?

No.

If a memo is circulated to officers of a certain rank

concerning a matter of this nature would that memo also

be circulated to officers of ICAC of equivalent rank? It certainly would have been when Anti-corruption office

was part of Police Force at which time it was headed by

Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Is it correct that when officers of Police Force were

seconded to ICAC that they retain their police rank?

Yes. They did and still do.

And therefore if on distribution list, superintendent and

above, there were police officers holding that rank or

higher rank seconded to ICAC this memo would be known to

them?

"

Type of memo of which we are speaking on a need to know"

basis, all officers of a particular rank would not have

seen it

it would only be sent to those who are concerned.

Cross-examined by Mr. Gunston:

You told us that there is a letter concerning complaint

against Lem Cheong Wa and Ng Sik Ho. Is that file
