HC Deb 10 July 1986 vol 101 cc236-7W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the figures given in his answer to the hon. Member for Elmet (Mr. Batiste) on 15 April, Official Report, column 380, as to the number of residents in South Africa entitled to settle in the United Kingdom were calculated.

Mr. Eggar

The figures were based on estimates produced by Her Majesty's embassy in South Africa using a combination of South African Government immigration and census statistics and information available to Her Majesty's consulates there.
