Supplementary to Leg. Co. Question No. 1 of 23rd May, 1979

Mr. T.S. Lo :

Sir, if one takes this figure against also the refugees from China the percentage of those resettled will be considerably less than say, 4% of the total refugees coming in for the period?

The Chief Secretary :

Sir, a very, very small figure.

Mr. S.L. Chen :

To what extent is support forthcoming from the UNHCR financially or otherwise ?

The Chief Secretary :

Sir, the UNHCR provides finance for those refugees who have been handed over to that organisation. At the moment, there is a certain slowness in taking people from us and we would hope to see an improvement in that regard in the near future. But what is required is a substantial increase in the number of UNHCR people here and I might say in Macau too.
