HC Deb 18 February 1958 vol 582 c122W
54. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies approximately how many refugees in Hong Kong are of European origin, and of what nationality; and how many of that category of refugee have left Hong Kong during the past five years.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

About 1,000 European refugees are known to be in Hong Kong. Most of them are Russians; some are Poles, Hungarians or Czechs. Just over 10,000 such refugees have passed through Hong Kong since February 1952.
