1. THE VIETNAMESE REFUGEE AND BOAT PEOPLE PROBLEM CONCERN GROUP, COMPRISING DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS FROM ELEVEN DISTRICTS, HAS REQUESTED A MEETING WITH LORD CAITHNESS DURING HIS VISIT HERE. THE GROUP HAS A FAIRLY LOW PROFILE AND WE DO NOT THINK THAT SUCH A MEETING IS WARRANTED. THE GROUP HAS BEEN ASKED TO PUT ITS VIEWS ON PAPER FOR LORD CAITHNESS AND WILL BE SEEN BY THE REFUGEE CO- ORDINATOR.
