§ Mr. Powellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the latest count of Ugandan Asians admitted in the last three months to date; what is the latest estimate of those admitted to other countries with a right acknowledged by Her Majesty's Government to enter the United Kingdom subsequently; and what is the latest estimate of dependants, not included in the above, who would have the right to be admitted to join Ugandan Asians already in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. LaneThe number of Ugandan Asians admitted up to 28th November in consequence of the expulsion decree was 25,472. In addition, about 4,000 United442W Kingdom passport holders went to third countries from Uganda. As to the last part of the Question, I understand that my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs will be writing to my right hon. Friend.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how -many Ugandan Asians now admitted into Great Britain had, on their date of arrival or within two months of such date, in addition to their United Kingdom passports, papers, or passports of other countries; and whether he will give details of these countries.
§ Mr. LaneI assume that the Question relates to United Kingdom passport holders who came here from Uganda with the intention of going on to a third country, or have subsequently been accepted for settlement in a third country. I cannot say how many such people there are, but the countries to which some have so far gone are Canada, New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland.
