Its Recommendations
1.1 Oxfam to ask UK to
maintain its offtake
of 40 refugees per month beyond the first 500 family reunion cases.
Comments/Follow-up Action
Oxfam has taken up issue with the British Government and various
social welfare groups.
Whether
this pressure directly or
indirectly led to the continuation of the UK programme cannot be assessed.
1.2 CSD should relinquish
their management to SWD which should ask the
voluntary agencies to manage the closed centres in conjunction with the refugees.
CSD is the only department with the expertise to manage a large number of people in a confined environment. We have rejected the idea in the past and shall continue to do so.
1.3 Closed centre refugees
should be released after 5 years (time system) or when they show progress in language or voational training (merit system)
This proposal unacceptable as it
would undermine the closed centre policy
