HC Deb 20 February 1973 vol 851 c71W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the 35,000 non-patrial United Kingdom citizens in Kenya qualify for settlement in the United Kingdom under the provisions in the immigration rules for entry for settlement to those whose grandparents were born in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lane

Anyone in Kenya who is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies—as opposed to a citizen of an independent Commonwealth country—and who has a grandparent born in the United Kingdom is patrial under Section 2 of the Immigration Act 1971. Such a person would not therefore need the benefit of the new provision in the immigration rules.
