1. A CHANGE IN THE OFFICER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUESTION IN THE
LUXEMBOURG MFA HAS REGRETTABLY LED TO A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE
ON OTHER GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND QUANGO'S CHARGED BY MISISTERS
WITH EXAMINING THE ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS OF RESETTLEMENT. THE NEW
MAN IN THE MFA HAS NOW UNDERTAKEN TO PURSUE THE MATTER ENERGETIC-
CALLY: HIS PERSONAL EMBARRASSMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THIS IS THE
CASE. OUR VIEW IS THAT THE POLITICAL COMMITMENT TO HELP REMAINS
FIRM.
2. WE HAVE HEARD THAT THE FRENCH ORGANISATION, 'MEDECINS SANS
FRONTIERES' ARE INVOLVED IN SOME WAY, AND THAT OUR LUXEMBOURG
CONTACTS ARE AWAITING A REPORT FROM THEM. IS THIS CORRECT? IF IT IS
CARE WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO AVOID WIRES BEING CROSSED. THERE IS
LITTLE SIGN OF ANY FOLLOW-THROUGH HERE ON THE PART OF UNHCR.
