HC Deb 14 June 1928 vol 218 c1182
78. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the attention of the India Office has been drawn to the passage of the Domestic Servants Bill in Kenya Colony; is he aware that this Bill originally provided that all native domestic servants in Kenya Colony would be required to have their finger prints and photographs taken and placed on a registration form and that, during the passage of the Bill, this was amended in order to include Indian subjects in the scope of the Bill; and whether, before sanction has been given to this Bill, he proposes to take any action a in the matter?

Earl WINTERTON

I know nothing regarding this Bill beyond what I have learned from the reply given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the hon. Member for North Camberwell (Mr. Ammon). Any representations regarding the Measure that may reach my Noble Friend from those concerned will receive his careful attention.
