HC Deb 05 November 1930 vol 244 cc847-8
39. Mr. BUXTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the memorandum on native policy in East Africa has yet been sent out to all administrative officers in Kenya; and whether any steps have been taken to bring it to the notice of the non-European populations in that Colony?

Mr. LUNN

In view of the instructions mentioned in the foreword to the memorandum, my Noble Friend assumes that copies will have been supplied to administrative officers in all the East African Dependencies. No report of action taken to ensure wide publicity of the memorandum has been received, but there is no reason to suppose that the instructions in that sense will not have been complied with.

Mr. ANNESLEY SOMERVILLE

Have the representatives of the European population in East Africa made strong representations on this subject?

Mr. LUNN

That is not part of this question. It may be the subject of another question.
