§ Mr. Powellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make representations to the Government of Kenya in connection with their discriminating for the purpose of visa requirement against United Kingdom passport holders originating from the Indian Subcontinent; and whether he has received from that Government any explanation of that discrimination.
§ Mr. LuardAlthough visa regulations for Kenya are solely a matter for the Government of that country, representatives of our high commission there have written to the Kenya authorities and discussed this visa requirement with them several times. The Kenya authorities have expressed concern about the number of United Kingdom passport holders who have entered Kenya as visitors without visas and have later attempted to 389W prolong their stay. Others who may be eligible for special vouchers have tried to enter Kenya in order to obtain vouchers there quickly.
