Mr Cheong Leen :

Sir, are strong representations being made the UNHCR to increase both

manpower and funds to enable the UNHCR to accept full responsibility to

care for Vietnamese refugees immediately upon arrival in Hong Kong?

Secretary for Security

Yes, sir, representations have been made on many occasions in recent weeks

by the UK Commision in Geneva and we are following up those representations

here with the local representative of the United Nations High Commission for

Refugees.
