WE HAVE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING PQ FROM LORD HYLTON FOR WRITTEN REPLY BY 28 JANUARY:
BEGINS: TO ASK THE SECRETARY OF STATE/HMG WHETHER THEY HAVE STUDIED THE THREE REPORTS MADE DURING 1986 AND 1987 BY OXFAM, HONG KONG, ON THE VIETNAMESE REFUGEES NOW IN HONG KONG: WHETHER THEY ACCEPT SOME OR ALL OF THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS: AND, IF SO, WHAT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IN IMPLEMENTING THEM. ENDS. 2.
WE PROPOSE TO SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING DRAFT REPLY TO LORD
GLENARTHUR: BEGINS: I AM AWARE OF THE OXFAM REPORTS OF 1986 AND 1987. THE THIRD OF THESE HAS ONLY RECENTLY BEEN RECEIVED, AND IS STILL BEING STUDIED. THE REPORTS CONTAIN NUMEROUS RECOMMENDATIONS, MANY OF WHICH ARE FOR ACTION BY THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN HMG. I SHALL WRITE TO THE NOBLE LORD WITH FURTHER DETAILS IN DUE COURSE. ENDS.

WE PRESUME THE PREVIOUS TWO OXFAM REPORTS ARE THOSE OF APRIL 1986 AND DECEMBER 1986. AS YOU KNOW, LORD HYLTON HAS ALREADY WRITTEN TO LORD GLENARTHUR ABOUT THE LATEST OXFAM REPORT, AND WE HAVE SOUGHT YOUR COMMENTS ON IT. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON OUR DRAFT REPLY DESKBY 2809OOZ.
