Mr Ian Wrigglesworth (Teesside, Thornaby): To ask the Lord Privy Seal, how many Vietnamese refugees are still resident in Hong Kong; and when it is now expected that they will be resettled.

MR PETER BLAKER
On 20 May there were 39,695 Vietnamese refugees in Hong Kong awaiting resettlement. At a projected rate of 3,000 persons per month, and provided that there is no increase in the average of 10 new arrivals a day since 1 January, it will take until August 1981 to resettle them elsewhere.
