HL Deb 05 May 1975 vol 360 c187WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many United Kingdom passport holders who are subject to the special voucher system they estimate are now resident in each of the countries concerned including in particular Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zaire, Aden, Rhodesia, India, and Pakistan; and if in the case of each country they will also estimate the number of heads of household included in the totals.

Lord GORONWY-ROBERTS

The estimated numbers of United Kingdom passport holders who have no other citizenship and are subject to United Kingdom immigration control are listed below. The figures do not relate to heads of family but to individuals.

Kenya 21,000
Tanzania 13,000
Malawi 9,000
Zambia 7,000
Zaire 300
Aden 5,000
Rhodesia Not known
Indian 25,000
Pakistan 1,000
Malaysia 110,000
Singapore 30,000

There are also small groups in other countries throughout the world. It is impossible to estimate their numbers but they are unlikely to be large. A breakdown of heads of household is not available.
