HC Deb 05 December 1934 vol 295 c1563
8. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, what action he proposes to take on the assertion in the Kenya Land Commission Report regarding the difficulty of securing suitable local people, official or otherwise, to sit on the lands trust board as trustees of the native interests, the necessity that the board should command the confidence of the natives, and that it should be removed from the sphere of local politics?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

No final decision has yet been taken on the question of the composition of the Native Lands Trust Board. I am still in consultation with the Governor.
