HC Deb 14 May 1930 vol 238 c1866
40. Sir ROBERT HAMILTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the £20,000 arrears of hut tax not collected in 1929 on account of famine in Kenya has been included in the budget of the Colony for collection in 1930?

Dr. SHIELS

Provision was included in the Kenya Estimates for 1930, as passed, for arreas of native tax not collected in 1929 on account of famine. My Noble Friend has called for a full report on the matter, and, in the meantime, he has requested that no action shall be taken as to the collection of these arrears.
