Dear Mr Byons,

30

Many thanks for your prompt reply to my last letter.

suggestio

As I understand it you have rejected the suggestion that

a previous Attorney General and Director of Public Prosecutions

of Hong Kong were agreeable to the offering of substantial sums

of money to 'recover' fugitives who had taken refuge in Taiwan.

Could you please confirm this to be your position. I apologise

if you feel I am merely asking you to repeat comments from your

previous letter. I do not wish there to be any understanding

over such a matter. (You should make quite sure that you are

being correctly informed by HK)

I would further ask whether a previous member of the Attorney

Generals chambers, Warwick Reid, was involved in any attempt to

procure the "deportation" of fugatives from justice in Hong

Kong, by means of payments to Taiwanese officials.

For your own files you might like to enquire how Reid

was recovered from Manila. It was an instructive and documented

event.

ест

eurs sincerely

yours

Resin lahir.
