Ps/Mr Renton
Jeritan
Ms
Thank you for your letter of 3 December enclosing a
letter from your constituent,
Elizabeth Good rum of 134
Blindman Lane, Cheshunt, about the problem of the
refugees who are currently in Hong Kong
Vietnamese
awaiting resettlement;
and
the question of
the
availablity of British passports.
Enclosures-flag(s)...........
The latter question falls within the responsibility
of the Home Office.
I am therefore copying this
correspondence to David Waddington to enable him to
comment.
Hong Kong's
Vietnamese refugee problem is of great
conce rn to both Her Majesty's Government and the Hong
Kong Government
it
and we are making every effort to resolve
as quickly as possible. It may be helpful if I set
out the general background to the
current situation.
