HC Deb 12 December 1927 vol 211 c1854
22. Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies when the Compulsory Military Service Act of Kenya will come into operation; and whether it will cause any change in the existing police and military regulation?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The Governor recently informed the Legislative Council that it was the intention to bring the Ordinance into force on 1st January or soon afterwards. I have no information which would lead me to think that any changes in the police or military regulations affecting the King's African Rifles are likely to arise as a result of the creation of the Defence Force as a reserve.
