MR DENNIS CANAVAN (FALKIRK WEST): TO ASK THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH AFFAIRS, WHETHER HE WILL MAKE
A STATEMENT ABOUT THE TREATMENT OF REFUGEES IN HONG KONG.
173
Under the provisions of the Hong Kong Immigration
Ordinance, all Vietnamese refugees arriving in Hong
Kong are permitted to remain in the territory pending
their resettlement elsewhere. During their stay they
are accommodated in closed centres run by the Hong
Kong Government in cooperation with UNHCR, or, if they
arrived before 2 July 1982, in open centres run
by UNHCR. Both HMG and the Hong Kong authorities are making every effort, in consultation with UNHCR,
to secure a durable solution for all those still
in the camps.
