HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 c238W
56. Mr. W. H. K. Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is yet in a position to make a statement in the cases of those British subjects deported from Zambia without reasons being given by the Zambian Government.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The Zambian Government have indicated their willingness in principle to pay compensation for actual losses suffered and expenses incurred by eight United Kingdom citizens whose claims have been transmitted to them. Our High Commissioner in Lusaka is continuing to press for a satisfactory outcome.

81. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has about the welfare of Mrs. Francis, a British subject living in Zambia, whose husband was unlawfully deported to South Africa by the illegal régime in Rhodesia.

Mr. M. Stewart

Mrs. Francis, who is employed by the Zambian education authorities, is in good health and well housed. She is not in any financial difficulties. Our High Commissioner remains in regular touch with her and will continue to give her every possible help.
