HC Deb 11 December 1934 vol 296 c211
58. Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action he proposes to take with a view to giving effect to the recommendations contained in the recently issued report of the commission of inquiry into the administration of justice in Kenya, Uganda, and the Tanganyika territory in criminal affairs?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

It is not possible within the limits of a Parliamentary reply to state in detail the action taken on each of the 47 recommendations of the report. Of these, however, 20 were immediately concurred in by the three Governments concerned, and I approved of their being carried out. As a result of discussion at the Governors' Conference in May, agreement was virtually reached in respect of 17 further recommendations and these were generally accepted by me. I am communicating with the Governors regarding certain recommendations which affect only individual territories. I am causing copies of my despatches to the Governors, in which my decisions are set out, to be placed in the Library of the House.
