§ Mr. Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures he will take to deal with the remaining problem of split families among Ugandan Asian refugees.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsI am anxious on grounds both of humanity and of restoring self-supporting family units to clear up this problem. I have, therefore, decided to admit for settlement the husbands of women who hold United Kingdom passports, if they were ordinarily resident in Uganda at the time of the expulsion and the wives settle or have settled in this country. I have also decided to allow young people over 21, who are or have very recently been studying overseas, to enter to join a parent who holds a United Kingdom passport and who was ordinarily resident in Uganda at the time of the expulsion. Application should be made to the nearest British overseas representative for an entry certificate.
