§ Mr. Sydney Chapmanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the latest information known to his Department on the assets in Uganda of Ugandans with United Kingdom passports resident in Great Britain.
§ Mr. BlakerThe recording, within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, of assets reported by United Kingdom passport holders expelled from Uganda continues but is not yet complete.
A Ugandan valuation committee is currently engaged in the task of assessing the value of that property as a preliminary to inter-governmental discussions on the questions of compensation for the property of British subjects and of the return of their assets. We would expect such talks to cover the property in Uganda of all United Kingdom passport holders, both Asian and European, whether or not they are resident in Great Britain.
