§ 21 and 23. Mr. George Craddockasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) if, in his consideration of the problems 1939 in Kenya, he will now give instructions that no one should be executed for any offence which was not a capital offence before the emergency.
(2) if he will give instructions that no one in Kenya shall, in future, be prosecuted for an offence which was not an offence before the proclamation of the emergency.
§ Mr. LytteltonNo, Sir.
§ Mr. CraddockWill the right hon. Gentleman kindly go into the matter again? If he wishes to produce a good atmosphere and provide a solution to the problems in Kenya, ought he not to meet these people half way?
§ Mr. LytteltonMy first task is to produce conditions of peace and good order.
