Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what correspondence he has received concerning the conditions of 'Vietnamese people at Nelson Hall; what replies he has given; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

We have received correspondence from five right hon. and hon. Members, including the hon. Member. In addition, this Department has received several letters direct from members of the public. Replies have been sent explaining the considerable efforts made by the Ockenden Venture over Christmas to alleviate the situation when conditions at Nelson Hall were at their worst, and the steps now being taken to close the centre this month.
