§ 13. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many Uganda citizens are in the United Kingdom and why; how many of these are receiving grants or assistance from public funds; and what 278W is the extent of Uganda assets in the United Kingdom.
§ Lord BalnielNo figures are available as to the exact number of Ugandan citizens in Britain. This is because no records were kept before 1962. No separate records are kept of the social security benefits paid to Ugandan citizens. There now remain about 200 Ugandan citizens following educational or training courses in this country who get some assistance from public funds under previously agreed aid programmes which have not yet expired. It is not possible to ascertain in detail what assets are owned by Uganda in the United Kingdom, but the total is certainly not large.
