Family reunion criteria should be relaxed in respect of Vietnamese in camps in countries of temporary asylum. (Recommendation 1).
A considerable degree of
Ministerial discretion should be retained in the granting of family reunion applications. (Recommendation 4).
Britain's willingness to relax its family reunion criteria for
Vietnamese in camps in countries of temporary asylum should be used as
a bargaining counter to attract offers of additional resettlement places from other countries. (Recommendation 5(i)).
The aim of such negotiations should be to reduce drastically the size of Hong Kong's Vietnamese refugee population and to resettle all those whose stay in camps has been prolonged.
(Recommendation 5(ii)).
The FCO should make resolution of
Hong Kong's Vietnamese refugee problem a major priority in its dealings with foreign governments. (Recommendation 6).
