MR ROY HATTERSLEY

We have directly approached some 14 countries about resettlement. On possible admission to the United Kingdom I would refer to my right hon Friend's statement on 21st May. We are offering the Hong Kong Government £50,000, in addition to the £20,000 already given, to help care for the refugees while in transit.
