HC Deb 06 December 1950 vol 482 c355
30. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what changes have been made in the Registration of Persons Ordinance by the Kenya Legislative Council; and whether the African and Asian members voted for the proposed changes.

Mr. J. Griffiths

No changes have been made in the Registration of Persons Ordinance by the Kenya Legislative Council.

Mr. Hynd

Is it not the case that a change was made in regard to registration by the finger-print method, and that one of the elected European members resigned because an alteration was made in this arrangement in the interests of racial discrimination?

Mr. Griffiths

An investigation was recently made by a committee whose report is still under consideration by the Government.
