UNHCR and international organisations of migration, the
IOM, because that is the best way in order to get this camp up and running as soon as possible and that is the other criteria that is important to us. It isn't just organising or arranging for the building or setting up of a camp, it
is to get it up as soon as possible to help relieve pressure on Hong Kong, because I know full well and I receive information daily from the Governor about the
numbers of people that are coming, and the number who are
volunteering to go back, and that is not high enough. We
would like to see that figure higher, so I do understand
the pressure. I talked to the Governor a lot about when he
was over here and I also talked to Rosanna Tam when she
came here with the

delegation.
What we have learned is actually the British Government are
on the holding centre to Vietnamese officials.
Actually can you give me some idea how the holding centre is going to be managed, who is going to fund it?
In fact it was a Vietnamese idea to begin with. It was the Vietnamese who put this forward and this was I think in September last year, they put it forward and it wasn't taken up at that stage. It is now being taken up so we put it back to them, so it is actually how the centre is going to be managed, under what rules under the basic UNHCR
bye-laws we hope, because what we haven't got time to do under the enormous pressure on Hong Kong is to set up a great, long procedure inventing new rules, we want to get the centre up and running as quickly as possible. Now some of the question quite right, I would love to answer them if I could but I just don't know at this stage.
Including the financial arrangements?
Including how the finances are going to be worked out, because it depends where it is going to be located, what the cost is going to be, exactly what is going to be done.
