WELLS EXPLAINED THAT SEVERAL VOLAGS IN UK HAD MANAGED TO OBTAIN LARGE HOUSES TO ENABLE THEM TO REUNITE IN THE FAMILYS. HOWEVER, THIS WOULD MEAN THAT ABOUT 20 REFUGEES IN HONG KONG WOULD HAVE TO REACH UK BEFORE THE END OF NOVEMBER, WHEN THE OFFER OF ACCOMODATION LAPSES. WELLS AGREED TO PASS DETAILS OF THESE 30 TO BEN TANG, WHO WILL FOREWARD THEM TO HONG KONG. I AGREED TO EXPIDITE ANY IN- VESTIGATIONS IN HONG KONG AND TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT THEY LEFT BEFORE THE END OF NOVEMBER. WE SHALL HAVE TO PRESS UNHCR ON THIS.
i.
THE HO OFFICIALS THEN EXPLAINED THAT THE UNHCR HAD INFORMED THEM THAT IT HAD NO (NO) FUNDS TO PAY THE TRAVEL COSTS FOR THESE FAMILY REUNION CASES. THE HO HAD NO FUNDS AND WONDERED WHETHER HONG KONG COULD HELP. I EXPLAINED THAT WE HAD NEVER (NEVER) PAID THE TRAVEL COSTS OF REFUGEES, TH UNHCR SAID THAT ONLY FRANCE AND
ALL OTHER COUNTRIES PAID TRAVEL COSTS. I SAID THAT I WOULD CONSULT AND RESPOND WHEN I RETURNED TO HONG KONG,
doubt / THE UK HAD ASKED FOR THE TRAVEL COSTS TO SE PAID.

good

WELLS ASKED WHETHER WE COULD PROPOSE ABOUT 80 REFUGEES FOR THE BRC TO CONSIDER THE FIRST 40 (BUT AFTER THE INITIAL 20). THEREAFTER WE WOULD PASS SUFFICIENT NUMBERS TO THE BRC, THROUGH BEN TANG, TO ENABLE THEM TO SELECT GROUPS OF 40 A MONTH. THE DETAILS OF EACH REFUGEE SHOULD FOLLOW THE LINES SET OUT IN THE ENCLOSURE TO A RECENT LETTER FROM OLIVIA WALKER TO SIMON SIT.
MCDOWELL SAID THAT THE 60 FAMILY REUNION CASES OUTSIDE HONG KONG WOULD BE TAKEN AFTER (AFTER) THE 490 INSIDE HONG KONG, UNLESS THERE WERE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
6.
WE AGREED THAT BECAUSE OF THE CENTRAL ROLE WHICH THE BRC IS TO PLAY, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THEY WORK EFFICIENTLY AND STICK TO SCHEDULES. WE AGREED THAT BEN TANG WOULD KEEP CLOSELY IN TOUCH WITH BARBER AT BRC.

9. MCDOWELL AGAIN RAISED THE POSSIBILITY OF ABUSE OF THE TEN- OR-MORE CASES WHICH I MENTIONED IN MY TELEX OF 14 OCTOBER. WELLS SAID THAT HE WOULD PASS DETAILS TO BEN TANG WHO WOULD FOREWARD TO HONG KONG SO THAT WE COULD DO A LITTLE QUIET CHECKING.
