§ 34. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that during a recent unofficial conference of Kenya settlers, at which resolutions were moved of a controversial nature, the Acting Governor attended and addressed this conference; and whether he is prepared to intimate to the Kenya Government the undesirability of prominent officials being associated with conferences called to discuss matters of such controversial character?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI presume that the right hon. and gallant Member refers to the East African unofficial conference which recently met at Nairobi. I know 613 of no official association with the conference beyond the fact that the formal opening ceremony was performed by the Acting Governor of Kenya, a course which follows the precedent of the conference at Livingstone and to which I see no objection.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIn that case, will the Governor also open the Indian Congress to be held in East Africa?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI must have notice of that question.
