Mr. Parry
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is satisfied with the policy of housing the boat people by the Hong Kong Government.
Mr. Luard
Since 1960, some 80,000 boat dwellers have been resettled in public housing estates. My right hon. Friend is satisfied that the Hong Kong Government give appropriate priority to the needs of these people, within an overall programme that will provide public housing for 65 per cent. of the population by 1985.
