HC Deb 19 November 1952 vol 507 c167W
82. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in what respect the provisions of the Penal Code (Amendment) Ordinance, 1952 (Kenya Ordinance No. 40 of 1952) are relevant to the suppression of acts of violence; and if he will cause this Ordinance to be repealed.

Mr. Lyttelton

This Ordinance provides an additional sanction for enforcement of the law against receivers of stolen property and persons committing allied offences. The fact that it does not relate to the suppression of acts of violence is no reason for repealing it, and I have no intention of suggesting that this should be done.
