VISIT TO HONG KONG BY MR NICHOLAS RIDLEY MP,
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TRANSPORT: 22-25 SEPTEMBER 1985
Vietnamese Refugees in Hong Kong
Line to take
(Defensive: for use with UMELCO and the media if
raised)
1. HMG very concerned about the problem of Vietnamese refugees
in Hong Kong: anxious to do all we can to help. Not my area of
responsibility, but understand Government response to SCORRI
report will be published very shortly. Cannot of course give
details in advance of publication: otherwise would be in
trouble with Parliament, who are entitled to hear Government's
reply first!
