VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE IN HONG KONG
Luli8/5
The Prime Minister has seen the Foreign Secretary's minute of 17 May about the worsening problem of Vietnamese boat people in Hong Kong. She notes that no decisions are required until the Foreign Secretary reports back following his visit to Hong Kong. But she agrees that it is hard not to sympathise with the Hong Kong Government's view, and is in principle disposed to agree that they should change their position in the way proposed. She is, however, very resistant to the idea that the United Kingdom should make any new commitment on resettlement.
I am sending copies of this letter to Philip Mawer (Home Office) and Trevor Woolley (Cabinet Office).
