HC Deb 29 January 1929 vol 224 c762
40. Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can give any statement or figures as to the operation of the measure for conscription of Europeans in the military services of Kenya?

Mr. AMERY

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on the 28th January to the hon. Member for Stourbridge (Mr. Wellock).

Mr. SMITH

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how many Europeans in Kenya have refused service since the Act was put into operation?

Mr. AMERY

No, Sir; I gave all the information that I could in the answer to which I have referred the hon. Member.

Mr. SMITH

It did not give the information for which I am now asking.

Forward to
