lain Macleod
Sir: George Hutchinson (Spectator's note- book', 25 July) congratulates the Foreign Secretary for insisting on a British passport 'that is, and looks, worth having'. But, for a Kenya Asian, it is not worth having.
In your appreciation of lain Macleod, on the opposite page. you remark that the late Chancellor was `the only man from either the Labour or the Conservative front benches to vote against the mean-minded Bill which shut out the Kenya Asians.'
If we really want an all-party tribute to Macleod, I would suggest (as a Labour party member) that it would be a good idea to rescind this mean-minded Bill, and allow these people to come in if they want to. This could surely be done without considering electoral advantage or the interesting ques- tion about which political forces (those represented by Kenyatta, Sandys, Mellish . . . ?) are most to blame for the Kenya Asians' present situation.
