§ Sir J. Fletcher-Cookeasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations how many people whose origins are in the Indian sub-continent and who hold United Kingdom passports are at present in East and Central Africa.
§ Mr. BottomleyHolders of British passports with origins in the Indian subcontinent are not distinguished from other holders of British passports in the statistical reports. The best information available from census reports and other statistics is that there are approximately 300,000 citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies of Indian or Pakistani origin in East and Central Africa. There are, in addition, small numbers of British subjects without citizenship of the same origin who are eligible to hold British passports.
