Mr James Sillars (South Ayrshire): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many people in Hong Kong hold British passports; and how many of these would be permitted unimpeded access to the United Kingdom under current immigration laws.

MR DAVID ENNALS
I cannot say how many people in Hong Kong hold currently valid British passports. 246,484 Hong Kong British passports were issued between the 1st of January 1965 and the 31st of October 1974 and a high proportion of these are still valid. Only a very small number of the holders of these passports would be permitted unimpeded access to the United Kingdom under current immigration laws.
