Kathryn Davies: If you do win government funding for projects in Vietna

surely it's not possible to discriminate between returning refugees

and people who never left?

NICHOLAS HINTON: Yes, you're absolutely right and that's a very common

situation we face in dealing with refugees anywhere in the world. BUT I

think the point is particularly well made in Vietnam, because it's not

only about caring for people who are going back, for which assistance i

needed, but it's also about preventing people leaving in the future. It

important, I think, that any programmes are directed at both groups of

people.
