The following questions were put to me and I shall be most grateful if you can let me know the answers as

2.

Approximately how many of the refugees of working age in open camps are in gainful employment in Hong Kong. Also percentage figure if known ?

How many have so far been selected for entry into Britain and what is their country of origin (North or South Vietnam'

3.

What percentage of refugees in all Hong Kong camps are ethnic South Vietnamese ?

4.

What is the total of refugees in Hong Kong camps at mid-September 1979 ?

5. What are the 1978 figures of legal immigrants into

Hong Kong from mainland China ?

6.

7.
