YOUR TELNO 1006: RESETTLEMENT
I AM SURPRISED THAT UNHCR HAS ASKED ONLY FOR 1000 ADDITIONAL PLACES.
2. THE REASONS FOR A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER FIGURE IN MY TELNO 1337 (NOT TO ALL) STILL HOLD GOOD. INDEED THEY HAVE ADDED FORCE IN VIEW OF THE PRESENT INFLUX. I WOULD NOT LIKE IT TO BE SAID HERE THAT THE UK IS ONLY PREPARED TO SETTLE OVER WHATEVER PERIOD OF YEARS IS DECIDED THE EQUIVALENT OF HALF THE PRESENT ARRIVALS IN ONE WEEK.
