Rerliesto Supplementary questions in Leg Co on 11th May 1983
Question No 8
Hon Lydia Dunn
Sir, how often have the unishments described by the Secretary for Security
been applied and have they proved to be effective deterrents ?
Sec for Security
Sir,since 2 July 821 there have been a total of 144 awards of
punishment in closed centres. 101 of these resulted in the imposition
of periods of separate confinment,and 43 offenders forfeited their
privileges. There have also been occasions on which the Commissioner
· Correctional Services has moved refugees from one closed camp
to another. Our belief is that these punishments are having an
appropriate deterrent effect.
Question Miss Dinn
Sir,
Hiny Keny
is likely to end up with a hard-core of undesirable elements
unacceptable for settlement in other countries held in closed camps
with no hone whatsoever in life ?
Secretary for Security
Sir a trend in that direction is an obvious danger but I wouldn't put
honemable
it in quite such extreme terms as my Her Friend.
Revd Joyce Bennett
Can the Secretary for Security explain the projected reduction in
1983 of the contribution of the UNHCR ?
Secretary for Security
No, Sir, it isn't actually a reduction in prorortion. The roint is what I was talking about is costings, not expenditure, In other
words we were including ta lacheneme on sets the lost rent
from land, the amortisation of capital expenditure, in the total cost, What UNHCR does is contribute to our direct expenditure.
