HC Deb 16 March 1961 vol 636 c1724
11. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proposals he has with regard to the future of the coastal protectorate in Kenya.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I have nothing to add to the reply made on this subject by the then Minister of State for Commonwealth Relations on 5th April, 1960.

Mr. Wall

Does not my right hon. Friend agree that probably the best solution might be found within the context of an East African Federation? Will he discuss this matter when he goes to East Africa next week? Will he visit Zanzibar?

Mr. Macleod

I shall visit Zanzibar, and it may be that this will come up in discussions; but it is a matter which will have to be resolved at some time in the future. I am inclined to agree with my hon. Friend that this and many other problems in East Africa could be more easily solved in the context of federation.
