population densities in the world. Over half the inhabitants have themselves come to Hong Kong as refugees, and this has put an immense strain on the Colony's social services, particularly housing. The Government of Hong Kong have launched a massive drive to rehouse half the population in ten years, but they simply cannot accept the further increase of population which could come from a new wave of immigration. You will know that the TUC have already called for a speeding up of social progress for the existing population.
Having said all this, however, I fully share your concern. that, where people are found to be genuine refugees, or where there are real humanitarian reasons for allowing them tostay, their cases should be fully and sympathetically considered. I have discussed all this with the Governor of Hong Kong and have received his assurance that this consideration will be given.
Yourismesicly,
Torony.
