§ 25. Mr. Fenner Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a joint committee of European, Indian and African members of the Kenya Legislative Council, as proposed by his predecessor, has yet been set up to recommend constitutional changes for Kenya; and what progress has been made in the discussions.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe arrangement on which my right hon. Friend's predecessor reached agreement in Kenya was that this body should be set up within a year of the start of the next Kenya Legislative Council in May, 1952. That arrangement still holds, and the second part of the Question, therefore, does not arise.
§ Mr. Fenner BrockwayIn view of the fact that some members of the Legislative Council are unaware of any progress in this matter, will the right hon. Gentleman do everything he can to encourage it?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI think that all the plans laid down by the right hon. Member for Llanelly (Mr. J. Griffiths), our predecessor in this matter, are being carried through.
