ANSWER:

None, but we keep in close touch with Indonesia and other

members of the Association of South East Asian Nations on

the problems of Indo-China generally. As the hon member knows, the British Government is deeply concerned about the question of Vietnamese refugees in South East Asia and attaches particular priority to resettling those in camps in Hong Kong.
