6. Mrs. Whiteasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what requests have been received for assistance with experiments in multi-racial education in Kenya, and what reply has been made.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydApart from the Royal Technical College, and the Hospital Hill primary school which receives the maximum grant-in-aid, financial help has not been requested for any such experiment in Kenya. The Kenya Government are, however, now considering a request for recognition of the introduction of pupils of other races into grant-aided African school.
Mrs. WhiteWhile thanking the right hon. Gentleman for that reply, may I ask that he will do everything possible to assist experiments of this kind, which are of very great importance in any multiracial society?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI am well aware of the importance of these experiments. We have to bear in mind the very different background and the problems of language in general; but I do not quarrel with what the hon. Lady has said.
