§ Mr. Goodladasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements have been made for the reception and permanent resettlement of Indo-Chinese refugees; how many those with responsibility for resettlement can cope with now and in the foreseeable future; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RaisonArrangements for the reception and resettlement of these refugees are currently being made by the voluntary refugee organisations, to which the Government have made available financial and other assistance and which are looking after about 1,800 refugees in their reception centres at the present time. The factors which determine the ability of these organisations to handle the flow of refugees are too various to permit any reliable forecasts.
