§ 43. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to make a statement on the root causes of the present unrest in Kenya; and apart 450 from the military and police measures now being taken there, what steps he is taking to specify and remove those root causes.
§ Mr. LytteltonI made a long statement which covered this question in the debate in the House on 7th November. I have nothing to add to that at present.
§ Mr. HughesIs the Minister aware that events have developed a great deal since then? Is it not clear that the two courses—the military course and also the economic considerations—must be pursued contemporaneously, and that unless this is done and the cause is removed peace cannot be assured in Kenya?
§ Mr. LytteltonI can only reply to the hon. and learned Gentleman that we are endeavouring to push on with the economic plans in spite of the emergency.
