HC Deb 12 July 1950 vol 477 c1346
38. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the removal of Kikuyus from the Kiambu district of Kenya.

Mr. Cook

I assume my hon. Friend is referring to the recent eviction of some Africans from the Olengurone settlement. These evictions were the result of a court order, after the settlers had persistently refused, despite repeated warnings, to abide by the elementary rules of good farming which they had agreed to observe when they were first settled in the area.
