United Nations, particularly the Latin American.
With regard to financial assistance for the High
Commissioner for Refugees, Britain has already pledged
£3.5 million for Mr Hartling's general programme in
1979. I have given instructions for urgent consideration
of further financial help in the light of the escalating
costs of the programme caused by the rapidly increasing
numbers of refugees in South East Asia.
In conclusion, may I again assure Your Excellency
that the British Government will give every support to
your own efforts to seek further international help for
the refugees and to alleviate their desparate situation.
