HC Deb 23 June 1960 vol 625 c58W
53. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Minister of State for Commonwealth Relations how many refugees from South Africa are now in Swaziland; and under what circumstances they will be granted residence permits.

Mr. Alport

The exact number of persons who have recently come to Swaziland from the Union of South Africa for political reasons and are still there is not known.

Such persons may apply for temporary or permanent residence permits under Proclamations No. 17 of 1956 and No. 56 of 1959, or for special permits under Proclamations Nos. 22 and 26 of 1960. The circumstances under which the various permits may be granted are prescribed in the Proclamations.
