HC Deb 18 November 1936 vol 317 cc1773-4
19. Mr. MATHERS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will publish his despatch to the Governor of Kenya Colony on the subject of the report and recommendations of Sir Alan Pim on taxation in Kenya Colony?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I am sending a copy of the open despatch, which is only a brief and interim one, to the hon. Member, and I think he will agree that it is not of such a character as to justify any special publication.

Mr. MATHERS

Will the information be placed in the Library of the House?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Certainly, if desired, but I want to make it quite clear that this despatch is not the end of the matter.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will the right hon. Gentleman let me have a copy, too?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Certainly.
