57. Mr. Bing

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the date upon which Mr. Makhan Singh was restricted as to his movement by the Kenya Government; when last this order for restricting him was reviewed; and when it is proposed again to review it.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The restriction order was made on 5th June, 1950. It was last reviewed on 3rd December this year, and will be kept under review.

58. Mr. Bing

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many non-Africans are at present restricted in movement without trial in Kenya; the longest period for which any such person has been so restricted; and the longest period which any such order of restriction of movement has been in force without review.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

A restriction order is at present in force against only one non-African, Mr. Makhan Singh. For details I would refer the hon. and learned Member to my reply to his last Question.
