PAGE.038/856

MR. TIM RENTON:

see.

Well not if it is a rule of general application, you

We are not wholly convinced that it would

necessarily be a very small

amount.

QUESTION:

Have you got any idea of the kind of numbers it

might turn out to be?

MR. TIM RENTON:

No, I do not think we do have.

CHAIRMAN:

Could we Dove on to the non-ethnic minorities we

discussed earlier and which are referred to in paragraphs

15 of your memorandum?

We discussed earlier the problem of statelessness but, of course, it is not just statelesness that is at

risk for these minorities.
