HC Deb 13 December 1966 vol 738 cc43-4W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what is the total estimated number of white British citizens in Commonwealth countries, and other countries, respectively, on the continent of Africa.

Mrs. Hart

British High Commissioners and Ambassadors do not differentiate in any respect between the various categories for whose consular protection they are responsible. The best estimate that can be made of United Kingdom nationals of European origin on the continent of Africa is:—

(a) In independent Commonwealth countries 119,000
(b) In foreign countries 109,000

Dual nationals are excluded from both figures.
