HC Deb 11 June 1980 vol 986 c188W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Vietnamese refugees have been settled in the United Kingdom under the present Geneva agreement ; how many more are due to come ; and when the programmes will be completed.

Mr. Raison

I understand from the joint committee for refugees from Vietnam that, of the 10,000 refugees the Government agreed to accept at the Geneva conference last year, about 4,900 had arrived by the end of May. It is our aim to receive the remainder of the quota before the end of the year.
