§ 74. Mr. Footasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many persons are still detained under Emergency Powers in Kenya; how many of such persons have appealed to the Advisory Committee; and how many persons have been released on the recommendation of the Advisory Committee.
§ Mr. ProfumoAt 31st October, there were 16,385 persons still in detention. By 18th November, 2,525 persons had appealed to the Advisory Committees, and 1,058 had been released on their recommendation. Of the remainder, some were released before their appeals were heard and others have since been released, although their appeals had been rejected. As no individual records of the latter are held centrally, it is not possible to answer the second part of the Question without considerable research.
