HC Deb 05 March 1968 vol 760 c49W
40. Mr. Henry Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, whether he will appoint a British Consul-General in Nairobi, whose principal duty would be to care for the interests of British subjects of all categories living in Kenya.

Mr. George Thomson

No. It is the duty of our High Commissioner in Nairobi to watch over and protect the interests of United Kingdom citizens of all categories. He already has on his staff a senior and experienced officer whose duties are analogous to those performed by a Consul-General in a foreign country.

42. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with representatives of Canada and Australia as to whether those countries would be willing to take as immigrants some of those Asians who are United Kingdom citizens now anxious to leave Kenya.

Mr. George Thomson

None.
