§ Sir GEOFFREY BUTLERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet decided the future status of the port of Kilindini, and, if not, whether he hopes to be able to do so in the near future?
§ Mr. AMERYAs a purely provisional measure, and without prejudice to the final settlement, I have approved of the port being controlled as a railway service under the Transport Order in Council until the end of next year. I have informed the Governor of Kenya that I definitely do not propose to leave the port as a railway service, and that I reserve my opinion as to what other arrangements should be adopted for its future control.
