HL Deb 20 October 1980 vol 413 cc1746-7WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What United Kingdom passport holders, other than those from East Africa, are referred to in paragraph 27 of the White Paper British Nationality Law, Cmnd. 7987.

Lord BELSTEAD

The term "certain United Kingdom passport holders mainly from East Africa" in paragraph 27 of Cmnd. 7987 was intended to cover those applying for special vouchers in certain countries in Africa where United Kingdom passport holders have been under pressure to leave and those applying from elsewhere having previously had some connection with East Africa.
