Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many stateless persons he has admitted to the United Kingdom on grounds of compassion this year from Africa and Ise-where.

Mr. Lane

Some 150 stateless husbands have arrived following the decision which my right hon. Friend announced on 22nd February, to admit for settlement about 300 men who had been expelled from Uganda and were then in Europe and whose wives and children were in this country. Other stateless persons admitted on compassionate grounds number less than 10.-[Vol. 851, c.146–7.]
