Finally, you ask in your letter whether more Vietnamese refugees will be admitted into the United Kingdom for settlement in the near future. Her Majesty's Government attaches great importance to the need to solve the Vietnamese refugee problem. The United Kingdom has accepted some 19,000 Indo-Chinese refugees, including 12,500 Vietnamese from Hong Kong for resettlement here. We also have a continuing international commitment to resettle family reunion and ship rescue cases. We maintain regular contact with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and with other countries, to find permanent solutions for all Indo-Chinese refugees, including those at present in Hong Kong.
