Dear Peter.

324

Thank you for your letter of 25 February enclosing letters from Sir David Trench and Paul Tsui about the ex WWII servicemen in Hong Kong.

I am afraid that for the moment there is little I can add to what was said by Home Office Ministers during the debates on the Order in Council in January, although I understand the Home Office sought and have now obtained further information on these ex-servicemen. This information is now being evaluated and decisions will be taken before the Order is resubmitted to Parliament.

I have however copied the letters from Sir David and Mr Tsui to the Home Office as the information they contain may be new to them.
