HC Deb 05 December 1935 vol 307 cc297-8
65. Mr. PALING

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the communications sent from the Kikuyu Central Association, Kenya Colony, protesting against the removal of the inhabitants of the Tijona area from their ancestral lands; and does he propose to take any action in the matter?

Mr. THOMAS

I am awaiting the Governor's comments on the memorial in question which, I understand, is being forwarded through him in accordance with the proper procedure. From a communication received some time ago, I understand that some modifications of the Kenya Land Commission's recommendations in regard to this area are in contemplation, and I will inform my hon. Friend immediately I hear from the Governor.
