(Head of Dept)
As at 9 May there were 5,646 Vietnamese refugees in
closed centres in Hong Kong. During April 277 refugees
were resettled from Hong Kong, of which 142 were from
closed centres and 135 from open centres.
The situation of the 11,200 Vietnamese who are currently
in camps in Hong Kong is of great concern to us and to
the Hong Kong Government. We are most anxious to bring about an early solution to the problem. In this regard,
the Government are currently considering the recommendati
of the Sub-Committee on Race Relations and Immigration,
and will give their response to the House as soon as
possible.
