from Ms Jill Reynolds of 9 Meridian Vale, Clifton,

Bristol 8 about the report of the Sub-Committee on Race

report Relations and Immigrationsjon Refugees and Asylum.

AS

I said during the two recent Adjournment Debates on the

report very carefully, and will reply Parliament as soon

as possible. As I am sure you will understand, it would

not be appropriate for me to comment in detail on the

Committee's recommendations in advance of this reply

이름. We

Gr

find durable solutions for all the refugees as quickly as

possible.

The specific question of admission to the UK
