§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is aware that 25,000 persons who have been given residence in India are also eligible to apply for special vouchers for entry into the United Kingdom; and how many people in total are in this situation.
§ Mi. LuardThe number of heads of household holding United Kingdom passports, plus their dependants, who are resident in India and may be eligible to enter the United Kingdom under the special voucher scheme has been estimated at about 25,000. The High Commission in New Delhi believe this estimate may be low and are making a new assessment.
Estimates of the number of persons in this category resident in the countries mainly concerned, excluding India, are: Kenya, 17,000; Tanzania, 10,000; Malawi, 6,000.
