HC Deb 14 December 1938 vol 342 cc1988-9
61. Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will set up a court of adjudication to decide on the continued levying of Income Tax in Kenya and upon its non-levying in Uganda and Tanganyika, especially in view of the fact that the European community is not satisfied with the investigations of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have not yet received a report of the results of the Standing Finance Committee's investigations into the question of Income Tax in Kenya. When this report, and the Governor's views thereon, have been received, I shall be in a position to consider whether any further inquiry into the question is desirable. On present information, I can only regard the proposal as premature.
