§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is now able to make a further statement on his approaches to the United Nations Organisation regarding the responsibility of members of the United Nations, in addition to Great Britain, to assist in rehabilitating stateless persons in general and the stateless Ugandan Asians in particular; and whether such discussions included the problem of the dependants of these stateless persons.
§ Lord BalnielHer Majesty's Government's views on the general problem of refugees and statelessness have been made clear in the regular discussions in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' Executive Committee and elsewhere. We have urged other members of the United Nations to play their part in dealing with the problem of stateless Asians from Uganda. We are in touch with the UNHCR about various aspects of that problem which are of direct concern to Her Majesty's Government.
