CLOSED CAMPS (GENERAL)

RESTRICTED
the many sad aspects of the an ideal world refugee camps,
Subject of Closed Camps is one of
Indo-Chinese refugee problem. In
closed or open, would not exist. As I said in my evidence to the
Select Committee on 4 February, and as I reiterated in the debate on
14 May, the position of having 5,600 refugees in Closed Camps, and an equal number in open camps is such that no Minister can say that
it is satisfactory or desirable. It is not. Refugee situations are
not ideal. There is no 'perfect' solution. We must be realistic
about this. Ask the House to try to understand
try to understand the HKG's position on this matter, and to see the problem within the special geographical and political circumstances of the territory.
