HC Deb 14 November 1927 vol 210 cc635-6W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, as an assurance was given that the conditions under which labour could be imported into Kenya Colony would be laid before the House, he will say whether such conditions have yet been received from the Government of the Kenya Colony; and, if so, when it is expected! that they will be laid before the House?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I presume that the hon. Member refers to the supple- mentary reply given to the right hon. Member for Derby on the 8th February, 1926. It does not quite bear the construction he has put on it,, but, as the Governor announced in the Legislative Council on the 10th August, 1926, that the Colonial Government is unfavourable to the importation of contract labour, the question no longer arises.
