HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 cc65-6W
96. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will advise the Government of Kenya to grant allowances to the African members of the Legislative Council to tour the country and explain the work of the Council to the people; and whether he will include the European-settled areas.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The allowances paid to members of Legislative Council in Kenya follow broadly United Kingdom principles and I see no reason to suggest to the Government there that they should make the special arrangements proposed in the question.
