15 VIETNAMESE REFUGEES IN HONG KONG

Please refer to para 3 of Mr Northern's Letter of

14 October to me (copied to Hong Kong) which states that Italy 18 will continue to accept further South-East Asian refugees who 19. already have relatives settled in Italy. It would be useful if

20, you could send Rome (and copy to us) any information you have 21 about numbers of refugees in Hong Kong (if any) who might fall into this category. If it transpires that such a group of refugees does exist in Hong Kong, we should be grateful if the

Embassy could pass details to the Italians and ask for

confirmation that they would be willing to consider them
