HC Deb 28 February 1927 vol 203 c13
23. Mr. RAMSDEN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the recommendation of the Imperial Shipping Committee on the control and working of Mombasa (Kilindini) Harbour; and whether it is proposed to give effect to them?

Mr. AMERY

The recommendations of the Imperial Shipping Committee involve matters which require very careful consideration with the local authorities, and I am not, at present, in a position to add anything to the replies given to my hon. Friends the Members for Cambridge University and Fareham on the 24th November and 17th February respectively.

Mr. RAMSDEN

Will local opinion be considered before any decision is arrived at?

Mr. AMERY

Yes, Sir. There have been local reports, and I am fully aware of local opinion on the matter?
