In Confidence
I have been asked to reply to your letter of 6
January to the Prime Minister, enclosing the report by
Oxfam Hong Kong on Vietnamese refugees in the territory.
I have read the report with interest.
I share the
concerns which lie behind it, and if I may say so I found
it a thoughtful and sensitive analysis of an intractable
problem.
Enclosures flag(s)...
I understand that the Hong Kong Government are
studying carefully the recommendations which
you have made concerning the refugee centres in Hong
Kong. This is a matter of considerable concern to the
British Government, as it is to the Hong Kong Government;
(hey) who try to ensure that the centres are run as humanely as
I know that possible within the inevitable constraints.
it is in this spirit that they are considering the way
forward.
