§ Mr. MeacherTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made toa the Indian and (b) the Bangladeshi Governments on the proposed 606W repatriation to Bangladesh of the Chittagong hill tract refugees currently in refugee camps in the state of Tripura, India.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydWe have not made formal representations to either Government about the proposed repatriations. But the Indian and Bangladesh authorities are aware of our concern about the tribal refugees from the Chittagong hill tracts in camps in Tripura. For example, the acting British high commissioner in Dhaka discussed the issue with the Bangladesh Foreign Minister on 26 June.
