§ 38. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether the interpretation of the Resolution of the Conference of Prime Ministers on equal rights for all British subjects adopted in the Colony of Kenya has yet received the consideration and approval of His Majesty's Government?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo exact interpretation of the Resolution has been attempted. Both the control of the composition of the population and the rights of citizenship to be accorded to Indians now lawfully domiciled in Kenya must be considered in the light of the interests of the four communities now in existence, and the determining factor must be the welfare of the Colony as a whole.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODMay we take it that the difference of opinion on this subject between the Colonial Office and the India Office has ceased, now that the Secretary of State for India has resigned?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe differences of opinion between these two Departments had been reduced to a very narrow compass before my right hon. Friend the late Secretary of State for India resigned.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODAre we to take it the Secretary of State for India wholeheartedly approved of the after-dinner speech by the Secretary of State for the Colonies?
Captain BENNWas the Cabinet consulted before the right hon. Gentleman made his speech at the Kenya dinner?
