§ Mr. Bodyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many persons now living in Kenya are entitled by international law, by reason of being in possession of a passport of the United Kingdom, to enter the United Kingdom in the event of being expelled by the Government of Kenya.
§ Mr. KershawInternational law is in general concerned with the rights and obligations of States rather than the rights of individuals. Their entitlement to enter this country is regulated by the Immigration Act 1971. It is estimated that there are between 60,000 and 70,000 nationals of the United Kingdom at present in Kenya. Of this number about half are patrials of this country; the remainder have no right of abode here, and are required to obtain entry clearances.
