Other resettlement countries responded by taking large numbers

Indeed a total of some 200,000 places from the area as a whole

were pledged at that conference.

If we were able to take a further quota now, it would clearly

be viewed favourably by those countries we are asking to take

more in the light of what they have told us. But in my personal view a figure as low as 100 would be too small to make very

much impact. Something more substantial, possibly over a longer

period, would seem indispensable if we are to hope for a com-

mensurately generous response.
