§ 26. Mr. W. T. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made for the families of the detainees in Kenya; what steps are taken to ensure that women employed upon the land are paid enough to maintain their children; and what provision is being made for the children.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydIn general, dependants of detainees still get subsistence from the family or clan farms, or are cared for in accordance with tribal law and custom. Where this is not possible, paid work on relief schemes is provided, and is supplemented for women with children by the issue of free food. Free food is also given to persons who cannot work. Children who cannot be so absorbed are looked after under arrangements made by local authorities and missions.
