§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Africans have been rendered landless during the implementation of the Land Consolidation Scheme in Kenya; what proportion of this number are being employed on consolidated farms; and what are their wages and working hours.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydNone. Land consolidation involves only the amalgamation into economic farming units of scattered strips of land in which individual Africans have rights. No rights are extinguished or weakened by the process on the contrary, it will be possible to strengthen them by issuing secure titles for consolidated land units. The rest of the Question does not therefore arise.
