114. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in what way it is proposed to modify the categories of crimes for which persons may be sentenced to death in Kenya.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Kenya Government have under constant review the possibility of reducing the number of offences for which the death penalty is at present prescribed but do not consider that any relaxation would be advisable at present.
