VIETNAMESE REFUGEES

1. I attach a draft reply to the letter of 15 December from the Political Adviser, Hong Kong, which was copied to you, and would be grateful for your comments. That portion of the draft dealing with the current UK position has been cleared with Mr Birt of the Home Office.

2. I also attach a draft letter to Mr Birt taking up Mr Wilson's suggestion that the UK should offer to take, as a special measure, a further 50 refugees.
