HC Deb 16 November 1970 vol 806 c302W
61. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British passport holders are resident in Zanzibar; and what steps he is taking to protect their interests.

Mr. Anthony Royle

We know of about 12 United Kingdom citizens in Zanzibar but there may be others who have not registered at the High Commission. The High Commissioner and his staff visit Zanzibar regularly from Dares-Salaam. On any question involving the protection of a United Kingdom citizen the High Commissioner has access to the President and Government there.
