HOUSE OF COMMONS DEFENCE COMMITTEE: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE
1. WHEN WE GAVE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS DEFENCE COMMITTEE A BACKGROUND BRIEFING ON HONG KONG YESTERDAY, CERTAIN MEMBERS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN VISITING A CAMP FOR VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE. THE SUGGESTION WAS NOT TAKEN ANY FURTHER: BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY WILL RAISE IT AFTER THEIR ARRIVAL IN HONG KONG. IT IS NOT EASY TO SEE WHERE SUCH A VISIT COULD READILY BE FITTED INTO THEIR PROGRAMME.
