HC Deb 25 March 1936 vol 310 c1211
19. Mr. BANFIELD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, with a view to relieving the financial position in Kenya Colony and obviating the need for the further raising of loans in this country to support the industries of the settlers, he will take steps to give effect to the speech of the Governor last September, in which he reiterated his view that Income Tax was the only solution for the taxation controversies?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

The question of the system of taxation in Kenya is one of the matters on which Sir Alan Pim will report: and until his report has been received and considered I cannot express any opinion.
