CORRI: Non Hong Kong Family Reunion Cases

Please refer

to Stephen Nash's letter of 28 April,

I attach a letter and enclosure from Liz Hebden in

he Home Office, which sets out the stage reached in

the SCORRI Report undertaking that some 60

ndo-Chinese refugees in camps in South East Asia will be

ccepted for resettlement in the UK under the relaxed

amily reunion criteria. As you will see, a sizeable

umber of the 221 refugees originally identified as being

ligible under this scheme are

in camps in Thailand.

It

not clear for the moment how many of these will be

egarded by the Home Office as priority cases, although I

would draw your attention to paragraph 2 of Miss Hebden's

etter where she describes Malaysia and Thailand as the

ireas of greatest need. If, in the wake of the publicity

surrounding the CCS DPT meeting, you are pressed on the

in nawal kamas

question of resettlement, you might refer to the

contiming

rospects offered by the post-SCORRI process.
