A central
objective
has
been
to deter boat
of the Government's policy
people from
from travelling
Vietnam to Hong Kong. Experience over recent years has
led us to conclude that it is only the repatriation of
non-refugees which will make it clear to potential boat
people in Vietnam that there is no point in travelling to
Hong Kong in search of resettlement. Ending first asylum
arrangements
for
large scale
repatriation
is
without
unlikely to be a fully effective deterrent. We believe,
moreover,
that mandatory repatriation
will
not
only
complement but will also stimulate voluntary repatriation
a
process
the which
Government
should
continue to
support wholeheartedly.
