§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is aware of the desire of the Kenyan Government to expatriate British-born and British passport holders now deemed as Kenyan Asians and non-Kenyan citizens; and whether he will arrange discussions with the Kenyan Government to discuss these matters and to ensure that these citizens are given the same right of entry into Great Britain as the Ugandan Asians.
§ Sir Alec Douglas-HomeWe have had no indication from the Kenyan Government that they wish to expel such British nationals. In August, 1972, President Kenyatta said that people of all races were welcome to live in Kenya in harmony. At the same time machinery already exists to allow for the controlled entry into Britain of United Kingdom passport holders of Asian origin resident in Kenya, who wish to come to this country. I see no need, therefore, to arrange discussions or to modify existing arrangements for admission to this country.
