HC Deb 20 December 1994 vol 251 c1158W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the implications for Her Majesty's Government's policy towards Kenya of the withdrawal by the Kenyan Government of citizenship from Sheikh Khalid Balala; and what plans he has to raise the matter in bilateral and multilateral meetings with the Kenyan Government.

Mr. Goodlad

This is a matter for the Kenyan Government.

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Kenyan Government about the number of applications in the current year for asylum in the United Kingdom from Kenyan passport holders.

Mr. Goodlad

I have made no representations to the Kenyan Government concerning the number of asylum applications this year by Kenyan nationals. The high commissioner in Nairobi has discussed with the Kenyan Government the problems caused by asylum claims from both Somali nationals travelling on Kenyan passports and Kenyan nationals who are ethnic Somalis subsequently claiming to be Somali citizens travelling on false Kenyan passports.
