§ Mr. LaneA careful check has been made at our High Commission in Kampala before the issue of an entry certificate, to ensure that certificates were not issued to citizens of foreign or Commonwealth countries, other than those admissible as dependants of United Kingdom passport holders.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is able to give the date when he expects to announce the total number of Ugandan Asians who have been admitted into Great Britain; whether he will give details of the number of men, women and children, and those of school age and retirement age; and how many of those admitted were stateless and not holders of British passports.
§ Mr. LaneThe total number admitted by 12th November was 25,379. I shall be glad to consider what more detailed information can now be usefully given.
