HC Deb 08 March 1956 vol 549 c227W
80. Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many persons have been deported from Uganda under the present ordinance in each of the last ten years, for which figures are available; and what legal processes were opened to them before deportation.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Since 1946, the number of persons deported from Uganda is as follows:

1946 Nil
1947 One
1948–51 Nil
1952 One
1953 12
1954 7
1955 12

Of these only one was a person belonging to Uganda. Apart from one undesirable alien, the rest were persons who had entered the Protectorate illegally under the immigration laws and were mostly Kikuyu from Kenya.

A person found in Uganda who is to be deported as a prohibited immigrant may, appeal to a magistrate and from him to the High Court before the order is carried out.
