Thank you for your letter of 2 August enclosing one from your constituent, Mr Neil Wright of 52b Palace Street, Canterbury, CT1 2DY, about the prosecution of certain individuals in Hong Kong under the Summary Offences Ordinance.
The cases referred to in Mr Wright's letter are sub judice and we cannot comment on the particular circumstances you quote.
Nevertheless, the laws under which charges have been brought are the laws of the Hong Kong Government. The decision to prosecute was taken by the Hong Kong Attorney General. It must be for the Hong Kong Government to handle these cases as they see fit, in accordance with Hong Kong law.
Julian Brazier Esq MP

Your sincerely,
I am Rutt.
