You may remember that I referred to the Vietnamese refugees in Hong Kong during my speech on 5th December, but there was no response in the wind-up.
Can I press you strongly on this question? The general view seems to be that if Britain were to show willing by again taking a quota, perhaps on a phased or regular basis, then Canada and the US would also respond.
I feel we have a responsibility and clearly the Hong Kong Government cannot handle matters alone.
With best wishes for 1985,
Pussell
Richard Luce, Esq., M.P., Minister of State,
Foreign & Commonwealth Office, London, S.W.1.
