HC Deb 20 December 1972 vol 848 cc385-6W
Mr. Dixon

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the value of assets left in Uganda by citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies expelled by President Amin; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Kershaw

We have as yet no accurate information about the total value of these assets. I am however inviting heads of families who as citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies have been expelled from Uganda to put on record at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office the details of the property they have left in Uganda. Forms for this purpose will be made available through the Uganda Resettlement Board to those now in resettlement camps in this country, and by the Uganda Property Records Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Charles House, 5–11 Lower Regent Street, SW1Y 4LU, on request, to those resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies who have settled abroad since they were forced to leave Uganda are similarly invited to provide details of their assets. Forms will be available, on request, from the British Missions in the countries where they now live.
