VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE IN HONG KONG: RESETTLEMENT
1.
AS YOU KNOW ONE OF THE ASPECTS OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS UNDER CONSIDERATION HERE IS THAT OF RESETTLEMENT. TO ASSIST US IN WORKING UP THE BEST POSSIBLE CASE FOR A NEW RESETTLEMENT COMMITMENT BY THE UNITED KINGDOM, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:
(A) AN ASSESSMMENT OF THE LEVELS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE
ATTAINMENT IN THE CAMPS:
(B) DETAILS OF THE TRAINING FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO IMPROVE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAPABILITIES:
(C) DETAILS OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING FACILITIES, DESIGNED TO ENABLE REFUGEES TO ADAPT MORE EASILY TO LIFE IN THE WEST.
2.
IT WOULD IN ADDITION BE MOST HELPFUL TO NOW WHAT PROCEDURES
ARE USED BY THE OTHER MAJOR RESETTLEMENT COUNTRIES TO VET PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES FOR RESETTLEMENT AND/OR TO TRAIN THEM (LINGUISTICALLY OR VOCATIONALLY) IN ORDER TO PREPARE THEM FOR
RESETTLEMENT.
