§ 37. Mr. Fernyhoughasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of troops of the Nairobi military garrison who will inhabit the permanent cantonment of 600 acres of Crown land acquired by the Kenya Government; for what purposes the land will be used; and what financial transaction was involved in its acquisition.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydAbout 70 officers, 150 British other ranks and 1,000 African other ranks, with their families, will occupy this land. It will be used as a permanent self-contained cantonment for the garrison of Nairobi, and for the staff of command and brigade headquarters.
Since the Crown land in question is unallocated, apart from 83 acres already allotted to the Army as a temporary wartime measure, no financial transaction is involved in its acquisition.
