FROM KEN WOODHOUSE, SECURITY BRANCH
VIETNAMESE REFUGEES : UK FAMILY REUNION CASELOND.
AS YOU REQUESTED (TELECON BARTON/WOODHOUSE) WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ASSESS THE SIZE OF THE FAMILY REUNION CASELOAD HERE. WE HAVE HAD TO
RELY ON THE UNHCR'S COMPUTER RECORDS WHICH SHOW A TOTAL CASELOAD
OF 680, OF WHOM 295 HAVE ALREADY LEFT FOR UK. HOWEVER, THE SAME LIST HAS ALREADY THROWN UP CASES WHICH DO NOT (NOT) QUALIFY, SO IT COULD BE EXPECTED THAT THE EVENTUAL FIGURE WILL BE LOWER THAN 680.
BUT THERE MAY BE SOME REFUGEES INCORRECTLY RECORDED - THIS HAS
HAPPENED BEFORE.
2. AM SORRY THAT THIS IS NOT MORE HELPFUL. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEGUN OUR OWN ANALYSIS OF THE SITUATION AND HOPE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
A MORE ACCURATE FIGURE NEXT MONTH.
3. THE UK OFFTAKE NOW IS OPERATING SMOOTHLY AND OUR EARLIER FEARS
ABOUT MAINTAINING AN AVERAGE OF 40 EACH MONTH HAVE BEEN ASSUAGED. SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION OF THE TOTAL CASELOAD, WE EXPECT THE UK FAMILY REUNION OFFTAKE FROM HONG KONG TO CEASE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.
