HC Deb 18 March 1964 vol 691 c198W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many persons have been deported from the South Arabian Federation in the past five years; how many of these were exempted persons; and how many were citizens of the Yemen.

Mr. Sandys

The Federal authorities had no legal power to deport before 18th January 1963. Since that date 993 people have been deported from the Federation (including Aden State); 978 of these were citizens of the Yemen.

2. My inquiries as to the number of exempted persons among those deported are not yet complete. I shall write to my hon. and gallant Friend as soon as I have this information.
