HC Deb 03 March 1969 vol 779 cc19-20W
70. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on how many occasions since the organisations of United Kingdom citizens have disbanded in Nairobi has the British High Commission called meetings of its honorary correspondents; and whether the membership of this body has been recently reviewed by the High Commission.

Mr. Foley

In response to a request received on the 24th of February, our High Commissioner has called a meeting of his Nairobi Asian honorary correspondents for 5th March.

Our High Commission has frequent discussions with individual correspondents, who are appointed on a personal basis to represent a geographical area. Replacements are made when necessary.

71. Dr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on how many occasions since the passing of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act, 1968, the British High Commission in Nairobi has made representations to the Kenya Government on behalf of individual United Kingdom citizens of Asian origin.

Mr. Foley

I regret I cannot enumerate the number of occasions. Our High Commission in Nairobi is in almost daily contact with the appropriate departments of the Kenya Government over immigration and other problems of individual United Kingdom citizens of Asian origin.
