§ Mr. Fenner Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds "The Listener" has been placed on the list of publications excluded from detention camps in Kenya.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThere is no list of publications excluded from detention camps in Kenya. Under the regulations governing the administration of detention camps, the officer-in-charge of a camp may allow a detained person the use of books and papers, provided that all such articles are received or procured through the officer-in-charge, who may detain any book or paper which, in his opinion, con-228W tains any objectionable matter. Any person aggrieved by the exercise of this power may appeal to the Commissioner of Prisons. I am not aware of any case in which this power has been used to withhold a copy of "The Listener" from a detainee, but if the hon. Member has any information which suggests the contrary and will place that at my disposal I shall be prepared to have it fully investigated.
