4. DR BARBER SAID THAT A NUMBER OF HIS COUNCIL'S CONSTITUENT
ORGANISATIONS CONTINUED TO FEEL STRONGLY ON THE SUBJECT OF CLOSED
CAMPS. I TOLD HIM THAT THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT DID NOT LIKE
HAVING TO HAVE THEM: THE CLOSED CAMP POLICY HAD ONLY BEEN ADOPTED
BECAUSE OF THE OVER-RIDING NEED TO DISCOURAGE THE FLOW OF
VIETNAMESE INTO HONG KONG. NOR COULD I ACCEPT THAT CONDITIONS IN
THEM WERE INHUMANE.
