§ 33. Mr. Cooperasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps are being taken to establish a unified civil service in Kenya, recruited and paid according to merit without distinction between different races.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Colchester (Mr. Charles Smith) on 5th November.
§ Mr. CooperCan my hon. Friend make out any case at all for treating members of the same service differently in respect of pay and conditions of work on the score of colour bar?
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsWhen my hon. Friend looks up the reply he will see that the Commission is now sitting on this matter. I prefer to say nothing with reference to it until the Commissioners have reported.
