HC Deb 31 January 1980 vol 977 c768W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Lord Privy Seal what recent discussions have taken place with the Ugandan Government concerning the assets left by Ugandan Asians when forced to leave Uganda; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Luce

The question of assets left by United Kingdom citizens in Uganda has been raised with the Ugandan authorities on several occasions. The Ugandan Government have undertaken to set up a Compensation Commission to deal with claims, and the Minister of Finance has given assurances that the necessary legislation will be tabled by the end of February.
