HC Deb 15 July 1977 vol 935 c277W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the fact that the Indian Government are now permitting Ugandan Asians of Indian origin to enter and settle in India, whether he will assist those Ugandan Asians who came to Great Britain to go to India, if they so wish, if need be with financial help.

Dr. Summerskill:

The help given under existing arrangements to immigrants who have failed to settle here and wish to leave will continue to be available to those who are eligible for it. It is not the Government's policy to offer inducements to people of overseas origin lawfully resident here to leave the country.
