The population rose from 500,000 at the time of the Japanese occupation to five million: and eventually the Government had to c.all a halt. It was nervous about the public reaction to closing the frontier, but was surprised to find that the steps it w.as taking were very popular.

But there are still plenty of people prepared to risk the perilous journey across the China Sea, so many indeed this summer that although in 1985 and 1986 thousands left the camps to be re-settled in the west, the total popula­ tion of the camps was about as high this July as it was a year ago. Re-set­ tlement alone cannot therefore solve Hong Kong’s refugee problem. It can only come from changes in Vietnam, itself. It is anyone’s ^ e s s as to how long it will take for those to come.

good row in Parliament over the decision to require visas of people wishing to come here as visitors from the Indian sub-Continent, Nigeri; and Ghana. But it surely is only sensible that a per son’s claim to come here should be tested before he leaves his own countr rather than at an immigra­ tion desk in an over crowded British airport The charge of racism is absurd. We now require visas of the citizens of over GO countries including Poland, China, the Congo and Burma, and 1 am given to understand that the inhabitants of those four slates are white, yel­ low, black and brown . . .

ing of Parliament, Mem­ bers of the Government dined ils usual at Number 10. In the old days the dinner was paid for by the Conservative Piuly. Now the Ministers have to pay for themselves and their enthusiasm for the occa­ sion is somewhat dimin­ ished as a result. On this one day of the year we fol­ low the excellent Chinese custom of speeches before dinner rather than after. 'This is both good for the digestion and for the nerves of the orators. Meanwhile, spouses of the Ministers dine at 12 Downing Street in more relaxed and also cheaper circumstances. They bring their own food with them.
