MR HUMPHREY ATKINS
During the first nine months of 1980, 69,501 illegal immigrants from China were arrested in Hong Kong. The
equivalent figure in 1981 was 8,445. The daily average
of arrests for the whole of 1980 was 225 and for the first
eleven months of 1981, 30. The estimated increase in
Hong Kong's population attributable to this immigration
is 107,000 in 1979, 64,000 in 1980 and 5,000 in 1981.
