HL Deb 07 February 1980 vol 404 c1588WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why the Home Office has not answered a letter from the Standing Conference on Refugees, dated 13th June 1979, concerning identity documents for refugees.

Lord BELSTEAD

The letter of 13th June 1979 from the Standing Conference on Refugees contained a summary of points considered at a meeting on 23rd May between representatives of the Conference and Home Office officials. A reply was sent on 18th June 1979 to the effect that the comments would be taken into account. For resource reasons it has not been possible to bring the matter of refugee identity documents to a conclusion.
