§ Mr. Swinglerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) if he will speed up the release of those detainees in Kenya whom the Government does not intend to bring to trial;
(2) if he will recommend to the Kenya Government the provision of legal representation to those detainees whose cases are being reviewed by the commission set up for that purpose.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe Kenya Government are making every effort, under the rehabilitation and review processes, to speed the release of all the remaining detainees. The Kenya Government accepted both the Fairn Committee's recommendation that a quasi-judicial review was to be preferred to formal judicial process and the corollary which the Committee attached to this recommendation to the effect that neither the96W Kenya Government nor the detainees should have legal representation. These questions are quite unrelated to negotiations for a settlement.
