§ 13. Sir ROBERT HAMILTONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will issue an official paper giving the number of armed raids into Kenya Colony during the last 10 years, with the casualties on both sides, the arms captured, and the estimated number of British subjects captured and carried out of the Colony?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI will ask the Acting Governor of Kenya for a Return, which can be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT or issued as a separate Paper, according to the importance which the Return, when available, appears to possess. The hon. and learned Member will no doubt agree that raids by armed German forces during the War may be omitted.
§ 15. Sir R. HAMILTONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the arms captured from raiders into Kenya Colony bear the official stamp of a certain foreign Power; and whether he proposes to draw the attention of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to this feature of the raids?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GORESuch a case was reported by the Governor in 1923. Four rifles of foreign manufacture were captured, dated respectively 1875, 1882, 1886 and 1892. The marks were those of three different countries. The matter was brought to the notice of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
