HC Deb 17 March 1964 vol 691 c144W
31. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, having regard to Hong Kong's record of succouring refugees from the Chinese mainland, he will ensure that refugees in Hong Kong, whom the authorities in Taiwan are willing and able to receive, are not returned to Communist territory.

Mr. Sandys

No. Most of the persons who try illegally to enter Hong Kong from China are not refugees. Any who are refugees are free to travel on to other countries.
