HC Deb 13 March 1923 vol 161 c1314W
Mr. RILEY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received any protest from Kenya against a public attack made on the Moslem religion by a British missionary; and whether, in view of the racial feeling in Kenya Colony, he will take action regarding this missionary?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Yes, Sir, protests have been received from Kenya and Zanzibar, from Arabs as well as Indians. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies shares the indignation expressed in these protests at the insult offered to the Mahommedan religion. He is in communication with the Governor in the matter. I should add that. I am informed that the Rev. W. H. Shaw, although a clergyman, is not a missionary.
