HC Deb 13 December 1926 vol 200 c2538
8. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the action of a native retainer at Kijiado, in Kenya Colony, who, at the risk of his own life, attacked singe-handed a lion who was mauling the acting district commissioner and thereby saved the life of this official; and what, if any, action has been taken by the Government to reward the native for this act of bravery?

Mr. AMERY

I have seen a Press report of the incident. I am not aware of any action by the Colonial Government, but I will make inquiry.
