Insofar as public order is concerned, the

Government will make sure there is sufficient Police

presence. Every effort will be made to develop a

law-abiding and responsible community from the first

day they move to the camp.

In relation to the proposal of 'rehabilitation'

mentioned in your letter, we have in fact set up

working groups consisting of District Board members and

representatives from relevant Government Departments to

devise a suitable programme for a systematic liberalisation

of closed centres. Orientation programmes to the refugees

will be provided by voluntary agencies to help them to

adapt to ordinary lives.

I wish to reassure you that the interests of

the local residents will be fully taken into account in

the process of implementation of the liberalisation

scheme.

Yours faithfully,
