§ Mr. Guy Barnettasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many vouchers have been issued to United Kingdom passport holders in Kenya since 1st January 1973 ; and how many applications remain in hand.
§ Lord BalnielIt is not our practice to disclose how the global quota of special vouchers is allocated, at any particular time, between different countries.
The number of applications for special vouchers in Kenya at the end of October not yet satisfied was just over 3,500.
§ Mr. Guy Barnettasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what estimate he has made of the total assets held in Kenya by United Kingdom citizens ; and what proportion of these assets is held by Asians.
§ Lord BalnielThe latest available figures are for the end of 1971, when the book value of net assets attributable to direct investment by United Kingdom companies in Kenya was of the order of146W £60.5 million excluding oil, insurance and banking. I am not able to say what proportion of these assets are held by Asians. Figures are not available for the value of assets held in Kenya by United Kingdom passport holders resident in Kenya.
