HC Deb 28 February 1935 vol 298 cc1306-7
79. Sir ROBERT HAMILTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it has been finally decided where the Kenya Native Land Trust Board will sit; if it is intended that Native lands shall continue to be vested in the board; and whether officers of the Kenya Government service are to be considered eligible for appointment to the board?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)

I would refer the hon. Member to the Summary of Conclusions of His Majesty's Government on the Kenya Land Commission's Report (Cmd. 4580) to which I am at present not in a position to add.

Sir R. HAMILTON

The right hon. Gentleman did not reply to the last part of the question as to the appointment of government officers on the board?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I am afraid that I cannot make a statement yet, but when I am able to make a statement about the future constitution of the board I will do so.
