37. Mr. Baldwinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many African newspapers other than the Government newspaper are published in Kenya; what is their estimated circulation; and how many of these have made their appearance in the last year.
Mr. Creech JonesThere are 17 newspapers for Africans in Kenya; their combined circulation is estimated at 68,300 copies; five of these newspapers have made their appearance in the last year.
Mr. BaldwinIn view of the somewhat subversive nature of some of these newspapers, will the right hon. Gentleman consider setting up a Royal Commission to inquire into the matter?
