Vietnamese Refugees
Mr. Rowlands asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the boat people have been re- ceived to date into Great Britain from Hong Kong (a) into the reception centres and (b) into permanent homes; how many he expects to receive in November and December; and when he now esti- mates that the Government will have re- ceived into the United Kingdom the full quota agreed at the Geneva conference.
Mr. Whitelaw: I understand from the joint committee for refugees from Viet- nam that during the months February to October inclusive the refugees from camps in Hong Kong received into re- ception centres in this country numbered about 1,530 and the number of such refugees who went direct to permanent homes on their arrival here was about 30. About 1,500 refugees are expected to have arrived from Hong Kong during the period 1 November-end December. It is not yet possible to say when the quota agreed at the Geneva conference will all have arrived.
