from chemps in Malaysia and Thailand.
The first groups of
the 1,500 quota have already begun to arrive here.
Over and above that quota, the British Government have made a
commitment to accept for permanent settlement in the United
Kingdom any refugees who are rescued by vessels registered in
the United Kingdom who cannot be resettled elsewhere. As I all
sure you know, there have already been a considerable number
of rescue operations involving British ships and refugees
from Indo-China and these will undoubtedly continue. Apart
from this, we shall continue to accept refugees who have
close ties with this country.
With regard to the limited conference which is planned to be
held in Jakarta at the end of April or early in May, I can
assure your Excellency that the British Government would be
pleased to participate and we shall look forward to receiving
further details.
