Lord Glenarthur's Visit to Hong Kong and Thailand

Jobert laws

The Secretary of State was most grateful for Lord Glenarthur's minute of 17 January which he found an extremely useful summary. He has noted in particular the following points:

(a) The serious damage to our credibility if we are unable to act on our offer to take a further 1,000 boat people;

(b) The case of the wives and widows of war veterans;

(c) Lord Glenarthur's paragraph 15 about the problems of internal reconciliation in Cambodia;

(d) The question of ministerial visits to Vietnam.

All of these points should be followed through.
