§ 27. Mr. Chichester-Clarkasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many British and African troops were being employed against Mau Mau in June, 1955; and how many it is anticipated will be employed in the same period in 1956.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe total for fighting troops are 6,443 British and 5,363 African in June, 1955, 1,455 British and 3,330 African in June, 1956.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkDoes not that show a remarkable improvement in the situation?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydIndeed it does. I am sure the whole House congratulates 385 the soldiers and others concerned, and not least the Government of Kenya, and the people of all races who are co-operating in the multi-racial experiment in Kenya for which my noble Friend Lord Chandos is so largely responsible.
