HC Deb 12 February 1979 vol 962 c440W
Mr. Rifkind

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether his estimate of the number of Rhodesians entitled to enter the United Kingdom remains the same as that given to the hon. Member for Tyne-mouth (Mr. Trotter) on 3 August 1978.

Mr. Rowlands

The estimate of the number of Rhodesians entitled to enter the United Kingdom remains as given in my reply to the hon. Member for Tyne-mouth (Mr. Trotter) on 3 August 1978. —[Vol. 955, c.561.]

The figures of about 80,000 citizens of the United Kingdom and colonies resident there and a further 75,000 persons who are eligible to claim the right of abode in the United Kingdom are necessarily approximate.
