HC Deb 28 March 1973 vol 853 c341W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many United Kingdom citizens have gone to India from Kenya under the Anglo-Indian agreement of 1968; and how many of that number then opted to come to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Kershaw

6,670 United Kingdom passport holders have been documented for travel to India from Kenya since 1968. 2,096 of them have since obtained entry certificates for the United Kingdom in India.

Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many United Kingdom citizens have gone to India from Uganda since 4th August 1972; and how many of that number have opted to come to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Kershaw

No exact figures are available but it is believed that some 3,000 United Kingdom passport holders from Uganda have gone to India since August 1972. It is not known how many of them have since come to the United Kingdom because our statistics of arrival of United Kingdom passport holders expelled from Uganda do not show separately those who have come by way of third countries.
