§ Mr. Arnoldasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what estimate he has made of the number of Malawi Asians who are entitled to British passports.
§ Mr. LuardIn Malawi the number of non patrials eligible for British passports is estimated at 5,000, the great majority of whom are Asians. In addition there is a small number of Asian patrials.
The number of Malawi Asians eligible for British passports and resident in other countries is not known and would be difficult and expensive to establish.
