On behalf of Quaker Peace and Service I write to express our concern about the "Closed Camp" policy towards Vietnamese refugees in Hong Kong, and the effects of this policy.
According to a report received from the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, dated 20 June 1985, 159,978 were in the camps awaiting resettlement, in inhumane conditions.
We wonder therefore whether Her Majesty's Government would give sympathetic consideration to family reunion cases as well as long-stayers at the camp by admitting a higher number of these refugees to the UK.
I should very much appreciate your comments.
Yours sincerely
